ABBV's outperformance is driven by the success of new immunology medicines Skyrizi and Rinvoq, which are offsetting the loss of exclusivity for Humira. Strategic acquisitions, including Capstan Therapeutics and ImmunoGen, are strengthening its pipeline in immunology, oncology, and neuroscience, positioning the company for robust revenue growth in 2025 and beyond. In addition, AbbVie's focus on oncology is gaining traction with new products like Elahere and Epkinly, along with its new drug entry in the obesity market.
