Johnson & Johnson vs. Eli Lilly and: Which Pharma Giant Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Determining where to allocate capital in the healthcare sector often involves choosing between established stability and aggressive growth. Both Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +1.17%) and Eli Lilly and Co (LLY +1.87%) offer unique paths for investors.

Johnson & Johnson is a diversified healthcare leader with significant operations in medical technology and pharmaceuticals. Eli Lilly has recently emerged as a growth powerhouse focused on metabolic health and weight-loss treatments. Comparing these two giants helps you decide between a stable, diversified income play and a fast-growing pharmaceutical specialist.

The case for Johnson & JohnsonJohnson & Johnson operates as a leader among healthcare stocks through its Innovative Medicine and MedTech segments. Its portfolio includes blockbusters like Darzalex, which accounted for approximately 15% of revenue in 2025. The company is currently in the middle of a strategic shift, including a planned separation of its orthopedics business.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $94.2 billion, representing about 6% growth over the previous year. Net income for the period was $26.8 billion, a significant increase from the $14.1 billion reported in the prior year.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is roughly 0.6x. This metric compares total debt to shareholders’ equity, providing insight into how the company finances its operations. Free cash flow reached nearly $19.7 billion for the fiscal year.

The case for Eli Lilly Eli Lilly and Co has centered its growth strategy on cardiometabolic health, primarily through its treatments for diabetes and weight management. These products, including Mounjaro and Zepbound, accounted for roughly 56% of total revenue in 2025. This focus allows the company to tap into rapidly expanding global markets for obesity care and chronic disease management.

During FY 2025, revenue surged to nearly $65.2 billion, representing approximately 45% growth over the prior fiscal year. Net income followed this upward trajectory, reaching nearly $20.6 billion, reflecting strong demand and pricing power across its primary drug lines.

According to its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 1.6x. This indicates the company uses more debt relative to its equity than its larger peer. Free cash flow reached nearly $9.0 billion for the fiscal year.

Risk profile comparisonJohnson & Johnson faces pressure under the Inflation Reduction Act to negotiate drug prices for drugs like Stelara. The company is also facing thousands of lawsuits related to its talc-containing powders, which could result in substantial settlements. Patent expirations and supply chain complexities further threaten its market share and production stability.

Eli Lilly faces heavy revenue concentration, with over half of its sales coming from just two products. The company is also navigating litigation after a court restored a breach-of-contract case brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA +2.03%). Integration of recent acquisitions and government price negotiations remain constant financial and operational risk.

Valuation comparisonJohnson & Johnson is cheaper based on its Forward P/E and P/S ratio, while Eli Lilly commands a growth premium.

MetricJohnson & JohnsonEli Lilly andSector BenchmarkForward P/E21.9x31.8x392.9xP/S ratio6.4x14.3xSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLV sector ETF.
Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson overlap in some healthcare segments, such as prescription drugs, while JNJ’s business is broader, also covering non-medicine healthcare products.

Eli Lilly is riding a wave of success with its GLP-1 drugs Zepbound for weight loss and Mounjaro, which is the same drug for diabetes control. There is still plenty of growth left in the treatment, and that is expected to power revenue up as high as 30% in 2026, to $85.2 billion, with close to $31 billion in net income. Its next weight-loss drug, Retatrutide, is hotly anticipated for its triple-agonist approach, which is expected to exceed the weight-loss results of Zepbound. The company is also targeting less affluent customers with a lower-cost GLP pill called Foundayo, which it sells directly to consumers.

Besides GLP-1s, Lilly is working on a small interfering RNA therapeutic targeting lipoprotein(a) for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. Analysts believe it will be a blockbuster ($1 billion or more lifetime revenue) if approved.

Johnson & Johnson, meanwhile, is an overlooked behemoth compared to fast growers like Eli Lilly. The business has 28 products and platforms that generate more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Its pharmaceuticals arm,  Innovative Medicine, has had two FDA approvals recently, and has two more approved drug product launches this year in the E.U. and U.S. Innovative Medicine is 65% of JNJ’s annual revenue and appears to have a robust pipeline beyond those pending products. MedTech, its other arm, sells a wide range of healthcare products, including wound care, surgical instruments and implants, hip and knee replacements, and spinal implants. The recent buy of Atraverse Medical bolsters that business.

Both Lilly and JNJ are blockbuster-producing pharma giants with defensible market positions. Each is a compelling investment, but the nod here goes to Eli Lilly because its primary product, GLP-1s and related drugs, are products that most patients will take for a lifetime for weight maintenance after initial weight loss. That’s a huge, continuing market even if competition from other GLP-1s intensifies.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' Anti-IL-15 Antibody Shows Promise in Vitiligo Study
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
MarketBeat Week in Review – 02/03 - 02/07Teva Pharmaceutical Industries NYSE: TEVA said its internally developed anti-IL-15 antibody produced encouraging 24-week efficacy results in a phase 1b proof-of-concept study for vitiligo, as the company highlighted the program as part of its broader shift toward a biopharma-focused growth strategy.

During a conference call, President and CEO Richard Francis called the data “a milestone” in Teva’s “Pivot to Growth” plan and said 2026 is expected to include eight key events for the company, up from a prior expectation of seven following the addition of an ecopipam NDA filing.

Get TEVA alerts:

Teva Pharma: Why This Generic Drug Giant Is a Smart Buy NowFrancis said Teva’s pipeline includes several programs that the company believes could each become $1 billion products in their respective indications, including anti-IL-15, duvakitug, emricasan, DARI, ecopipam and olanzapine-related programs. He said Teva expects its innovative portfolio to generate $3.5 billion of revenue in 2026.

Vitiligo Study Shows Facial and Total Body Responses Eric A. Hughes, Teva’s EVP of Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer, said vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which an immune reaction destroys melanocytes, leading to loss of pigmentation. He said the disease affects about 0.5% to 2% of the global population and carries a psychological burden, including anxiety, depression and social isolation.

2 Generic Drug Stocks Ready to Surge in 2025Hughes said the only FDA-approved treatment currently available is a topical therapy for patients with less than 10% body surface area involvement, leaving a need for systemic options that can treat the whole body.

The phase 1b study evaluated Teva’s anti-IL-15 antibody in approximately 38 patients. Participants received one subcutaneous dose at day zero and another at week 12, with efficacy measured at 24 weeks. Hughes said 66% of patients in the study had skin involvement greater than 10% of their body surface area.

Teva reported the following 24-week results after two doses:

42% of patients achieved F-VASI50, representing at least a 50% improvement in facial vitiligo. 21% of patients achieved F-VASI75, representing at least a 75% improvement in facial vitiligo. 7% of patients achieved T-VASI50, representing at least a 50% improvement in total body vitiligo. 75% of patients reported improvement in facial skin using the facial Patient Global Impression of Change score, with half of those reporting “much” to “very much” improvement. 55% of patients reported improvement in total skin using the total Patient Global Impression of Change score. Hughes said the patient-reported outcomes were particularly meaningful because patients monitor their skin daily and may be strongly affected by changes in appearance.

Company Highlights Quarterly Dosing Potential Hughes said Teva believes its anti-IL-15 antibody is differentiated by its potency, long half-life and target engagement. He described the molecule as “Teva-born” and said it was created by the same internal team that developed duvakitug.

According to Hughes, the antibody has a half-life of about 38 days. He said the company observed rapid suppression of free IL-15 levels in serum within one or two days, and at the top dose, suppression below the limit of quantitation extended to about 80 to 90 days. Based on those data, Hughes said dosing once per quarter is a “strong possibility.”

Hughes said the drug has been “very well tolerated” to date, with no safety signals seen so far. In response to an analyst question, he said Teva has followed patients from earlier studies for extended periods, including out to about 400 days in some phase 1 work, and has not seen adverse events associated with IL-15 rebound as levels return to baseline.

Teva Compares Data With Oral JAK Programs Hughes compared the phase 1b results with published data from upadacitinib, an oral JAK therapy that he said recently received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use.

He said Teva’s F-VASI50 result of 42% compared with 38% and 39% in the upadacitinib data he referenced. Teva’s F-VASI75 result of 21% compared with 19% and 14%, while its T-VASI50 result of 7% compared with 6% and 11%.

Hughes said Teva views the comparison as encouraging, particularly because its product is being developed as a subcutaneous injection given once every quarter. He contrasted that with daily oral JAK therapy, which he said carries a black box warning.

Phase 2 Plans and Additional Indications Teva said it has already met with the FDA and is incorporating the agency’s feedback into a phase 2 study expected to begin this year. Hughes said the company plans dose-ranging work in phase 2b and is discussing a seamless study design that could allow the program to move efficiently toward phase 3.

Hughes said Teva expects facial VASI and total VASI endpoints to be used in later-stage development, with baseline criteria likely to include greater than 0.5 on facial VASI and greater than five on total VASI. He also said Teva will continue monitoring phase 1b subjects out to 80 weeks.

Teva also emphasized potential applications for anti-IL-15 beyond vitiligo. Hughes said IL-15 may be relevant in alopecia areata, celiac disease, eosinophilic esophagitis and atopic dermatitis. The company expects proof-of-concept data from a phase 2a celiac disease study in the second half of the year.

That celiac study, Hughes said, includes about 50 patients in a placebo-controlled gluten challenge design. Patients receive either active treatment or placebo, then undergo a gluten diet challenge, with biopsies used to evaluate effects on gut histology. Hughes said the crypt depth-to-villus height ratio will be the most important readout.

Francis closed the call by saying the anti-IL-15 vitiligo data represent the second of eight expected milestones for Teva this year, with additional pipeline updates anticipated in the coming months.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and progressive disease of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the loss of myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, disrupts the transmission of electrical signals to and from the brain, leading to a wide range of symptoms.

MS affects people differently. Symptoms can fluctuate, with periods of worsening (relapses) followed by partial or full recovery (remission). Over time, some patients may also experience a gradual progression of disability.

Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling, walking difficulties, spasticity, dizziness, and vision problems, among others.

Novartis vs. Teva: Which Pharmaceutical Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Choosing between Novartis AG (NVS 0.66%) and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA 2.00%) requires weighing the stability of an established innovator against the potential of a generic specialist undergoing a significant turnaround.

Novartis is a powerhouse in the drug development world, prioritizing high-margin innovative treatments for complex diseases. In contrast, Teva is a leader in the generic market and is currently pivoting toward biosimilars and specific innovative drugs to rebuild its profitability and reduce its heavy debt load.

The case for Novartis AGNovartis is an innovative medicines company focused on researching and marketing prescription treatments for complex diseases. The business prioritizes key therapeutic areas such as oncology, neuroscience, and cardiovascular health across 118 countries. With a workforce of approximately 77,000 employees, it targets global health needs through high-value medicine development.

As one of the prominent pharmaceutical stocks, Novartis saw revenue reach nearly $56.7 billion in FY 2025. This represented a revenue growth rate of nearly 10% compared to the previous year. The company reported net income of nearly $14 billion.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 0.8x. This ratio compares total debt to shareholder equity, helping investors understand how much a company relies on borrowed money. The company generated free cash flow of nearly $17.7 billion, the cash remaining after paying for operating costs and capital expenditures. The current ratio is about 1.1x, indicating the ability to cover short-term obligations with assets such as cash and inventory.

The case for Teva Pharmaceutical Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is a global leader in both generic and innovative medicines, operating across 57 different markets. The company maintains a concentrated customer base, relying on a small group of large wholesalers and retail chains for a significant portion of its sales. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as these buyers possess substantial bargaining power.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $17.3 billion, reflecting a revenue growth rate of approximately 4.9%. After several years of reporting net losses, the company achieved a net income of $1.4 billion for the year.

Based on its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is roughly 2.2x. This indicates a higher level of debt relative to shareholders’ equity than many industry peers. The current ratio is about 2x. Free cash flow for the year was approximately $1.2 billion, providing the company with some liquidity to fund its ongoing operations and debt obligations.

Risk profile comparisonNovartis AG faces the constant challenge of patent expirations, which allow cheaper versions of its drugs to enter the market. The company must also navigate the inherent uncertainty of clinical trials, in which failing to demonstrate a drug's safety or efficacy can lead to significant financial losses. Additionally, competition from other large innovators like Roche Holding creates pressure to maintain a high pace of research and development.

Teva faces material pricing pressures from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, which could impact the pricing of its key innovative assets. The company also remains involved in ongoing legal and compliance matters, including antitrust actions and financial obligations arising from past opioid litigation. Furthermore, executing its strategy to divest its active pharmaceutical ingredient business while competing with rivals such as Viatris (VTRS 0.81%) creates significant operational complexity.

Valuation comparisonTeva Pharmaceutical Industries appears more attractive for value seekers due to its lower P/S ratio, while the higher Forward P/E of Novartis AG reflects its superior profitability.

MetricNovartis AGTeva Pharmaceutical IndustriesSector BenchmarkForward P/E17.6x17.0x389.1xP/S ratio5.3x2.9xSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLV sector ETF.
Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

Teva reported first-quarter 2026 results that bested expectations, with revenue of almost $4 billion and net income of $369 million. Teva has some very well-selling generics, including Ajovy, a treatment for migraines; Uzedy, a schizophrenia treatment; and Austedo, which treats Huntington’s disease. As a group, they grew more than 40% in local currencies in the first quarter of 2026. Still, Wall Street sees Teva’s sales declining to $16.6 billion in 2026, while net income is projected to grow to $1.54 billion. Teva has a strong drug pipeline — it has had its own generic GLP-1 approved, similar to Novo’s Saxenda, and soon that will be joined by olanzapine, which treats schizophrenia. Those and other drugs are expected to get Teva back to top-line growth for 2027.

Novartis saw its first-quarter volume rise 14% to $13.5 billion with net income of almost $3.2 billion. Generics are clipping growth a little, but Novartis has a strong development pipeline, led by remibrutinib, a treatment for certain autoimmune disorders that could launch in late 2026 or early 2027. Remibrutinib is expected to be a blockbuster, with lifetime sales of perhaps $4 billion.

Each business is on the right track, but Teva is more attractive for long-term investors given its better price-to-sales and forward P/E ratios.

About ocrelizumab
Ocrelizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to target CD20-positive B cells, which are believed to play a role in the autoimmune activity associated with multiple sclerosis. Ocrevus® (ocrelizumab) is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. In the U.S., the intravenous formulation is marketed as Ocrevus®, while the subcutaneous formulation is marketed separately as Ocrevus Zunovo® (ocrelizumab and hyaluronidase-ocsq). In the EU, both formulations carry the single brand name Ocrevus®.

About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and progressive disease of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the loss of myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, disrupts the transmission of electrical signals to and from the brain, leading to a wide range of symptoms.

MS affects people differently. Symptoms can fluctuate, with periods of worsening (relapses) followed by partial or full recovery (remission). Over time, some patients may also experience a gradual progression of disability.

Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling, walking difficulties, spasticity, dizziness, and vision problems, among others.

Teva Submits NDA for Ecopipam, a First-in-Class Investigational Therapy for Pediatric Tourette Syndrome
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
NDA submission supported by positive Phase 3 data recently published in JAMA Neurology.Ecopipam is a first-in-class selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonist with a novel mechanism of action and has received FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designationsEcopipam could be the first FDA-approved treatment option for pediatric Tourette syndrome in more than a decade, if approved.
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ecopipam, a first-in-class investigational therapy for the treatment of pediatric Tourette syndrome.

“The NDA submission for ecopipam is a significant milestone for a potential first-in-class treatment option in pediatric Tourette syndrome,” said Eric Hughes, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer of Teva. “This reflects the momentum in our innovative pipeline through our recent acquisition of this important asset, and advances our Pivot to Growth strategy and commitment to bringing differentiated medicines for patients.”

The NDA submission is supported by positive Phase 3 data recently published in JAMA Neurology, which showed that ecopipam significantly delayed time to relapse compared with placebo in pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome who had achieved a clinical response during the open-label treatment period. In the study, ecopipam demonstrated a statistically significant benefit on the primary efficacy endpoint in pediatric patients (p = 0.008) and was generally well tolerated, with the most common adverse events related to ecopipam therapy including somnolence, insomnia, anxiety, fatigue and headache.

About Tourette Syndrome

Tourette syndrome is a chronic neuro-developmental disorder character by involuntary motor and vocal tics beginning in childhood, often between 5 and 10 years of age. For people living with Tourette syndrome, symptoms can be frequent, visible, and disruptive, affecting everyday life. Despite the current treatment options available, many patients continue to experience inadequate treatment control or treatment-limiting side effects, underscoring the need for additional options.

About ecopipam

Ecopipam is a first-in-class investigational therapy designed to block dopamine signaling at the D1 receptor. D1 receptor hypersensitivity may contribute to repetitive and compulsive behaviors associated with Tourette syndrome.

Ecopipam has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA for the treatment of pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome. Orphan Drug designation is reserved for patient populations of 200,000 or fewer.

Results from the Phase 3 study in Tourette syndrome were recently published in JAMA Neurology. The primary efficacy endpoint in the study was time to relapse (based on YGTSS-TTS scale) for pediatric patients who were stable and responding to ecopipam. The study showed statistical significance between ecopipam and placebo for the primary efficacy endpoint in pediatric patients (p = 0.008). Ecopipam was generally well-tolerated in the study and the most common adverse events related to ecopipam therapy were somnolence (n = 24 [11.1%]), anxiety (n = 21 [9.7%]), headache (n = 21 [9.7%]), insomnia (n = 19 [8.8%]), tic (n = 17 [7.9%]), and fatigue (n = 14 [6.5%]).

Teva Just Delivered More Good News on Its Biggest Growth Driver. Is the Stock Still a Bargain?
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA +3.14%) is morphing from a generic drug maker into one that develops more innovative -- and profitable -- drugs. The stock is up more than 10% this year, and more than 95% over the past year.

On June 8, the company released data regarding its therapies, Austedo and Austedo XR (extended relief), at the Psych Congress Elevate. The three-year study showed that while more than 50% of tardive dyskinesia patients saw symptom improvement in controlling involuntary movements within 15 weeks, an additional 23% achieved success with long-term treatment.

This means that Austedo XR may be able to expand beyond its approved use to treat the involuntary movements (chorea) of Huntington's disease. The company also released a study on June 5 showing that 60% to 71% of Huntington's disease chorea patients experienced improvement with Austedo or Austedo XR.

This data provides doctors with strong therapeutic justification to prescribe Austedo or Austedo XR over competitors, securing market share for years to come. Here's one more reason to buy Teva stock, and one reason not to.

Image source: Getty Images.

The company's pivot is becoming more profitable In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported revenue of $4 billion, up 2% year over year. Its innovative brands, Austedo, migraine med Ajovy, and long-acting schizophrenia therapy Uzedy, together grew revenue by 41% over the same period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) rose 72% year over year, to $0.31. The key point is that the company's new drugs are offsetting its declining generic sales.

Meanwhile, the company's application for a long-acting version of olanzapine for once-monthly treatment of schizophrenia is currently under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This structural pivot expanded Teva's non-GAAP gross profit margin to 52.9% in Q1. The company is generating healthy free cash flow, estimated at $2 billion to $2.4 billion this year, which is being actively used to pay down its heavy debt load.

In April, the Israeli pharma struck a deal to acquire Emalex Biosciences for $700 million upfront. This included ecopipam, a dopamine D1 receptor antagonist that's en route to an FDA submission for Tourette syndrome this year. The drug has already received FDA fast-track and orphan drug designations.

Disappointing guidance, supply issues Teva's overall full-year 2026 financial guidance disappointed Wall Street. The company projected total 2026 revenue of $16.4 billion to $16.8 billion -- representing flat to slightly negative growth compared to 2025. That helps explain why the stock has fallen more than 3% since Teva released its Q1 earnings on April 29.

This stagnation is primarily due to intense generic competition eating into other parts of the portfolio (such as the generic version of the cancer drug Revlimid) and a drop-off in one-time milestone payments from partnerships (such as Sanofi). Because Austedo XR is carrying so much weight on its shoulders, any future slowdown in its adoption could leave Teva with very few places to hide, capping the stock's near-term upside until its next-generation immunology pipeline begins to commercialize in 2027.

The other concern is that ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted the movement of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and rising energy costs make it more expensive to ship drugs.

It's still a company headed in the right direction The company's move to pursue growth is obviously paying off, and its innovative drugs target conditions with unmet needs, giving them less competition.

Teva received FDA approval in March for biosimilar Ponlimsi to treat osteoporosis and bone loss. The company's pipeline includes six additional biosimilars that are expected to receive regulatory decisions this year. One of the most promising is omalizumab, a biosimilar to Xolair, made by Novartis (NVS +0.79%) and Roche (RHHBY +2.50%) to treat chronic hives.

The stock is trading at less than 15 times forward earnings, and considering its potential catalysts this year, that still seems like a bargain.

Teva Seeks FDA Nod for Ecopipam in Pediatric Tourette Syndrome
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Teva submitted an NDA for ecopipam to the FDA for treating pediatric Tourette syndrome.Ecopipam demonstrated statistically significant benefit in a phase III study's primary efficacy endpoint.Teva gained ecopipam through the Emalex acquisition. The therapy has FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug tags. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA - Free Report) announced that it has submitted a new drug application (NDA) to the FDA seeking approval for ecopipam for treating pediatric Tourette syndrome.

The NDA for ecopipam was based on positive data from a phase III study, which was recently published in JAMA Neurology.

Data from the study showed that treatment with ecopipam significantly delayed time to relapse versus placebo in pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome who had achieved a clinical response during the open-label treatment period. Treatment with ecopipam led to a statistically significant benefit on the study’s primary efficacy endpoint in pediatric patients and was generally well tolerated.

A potential approval of ecopipam could provide the first FDA-approved treatment for pediatric Tourette syndrome in more than a decade, addressing a high unmet need in a specialized neuroscience segment.

TEVA Price PerformanceYear to date, shares of Teva have risen 0.9% against the industry’s decline of 3.5%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

TEVA’s Recent Acquisition of EcopipamEarlier this month, Teva completed its previously announced acquisition of Emalex Biosciences, gaining access to the latter’s late-stage candidate ecopipam. Per the terms of the deal, Teva paid $700 million upfront and could make up to $200 million in additional milestone payments, along with royalties tied to future net sales.

The deal is likely to strengthen Teva’s innovative medicines pipeline.

Ecopipam is a first-in-class investigational therapy that works by blocking dopamine activity at the D1 receptor. Increased sensitivity of this receptor is thought to contribute to the repetitive and compulsive behaviors commonly associated with Tourette syndrome.

Ecopipam’s unique mechanism as a selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonist sets it apart from existing treatments that primarily target D2 receptors, potentially offering improved symptom control with a differentiated safety profile.

The FDA has granted Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations to ecopipam for the treatment of pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome.

Tourette syndrome is a childhood-onset neurological disorder characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics. Although some treatment options are available, many patients continue to experience insufficient symptom control or treatment-limiting side effects.

TEVA’s Zacks Rank & Stocks to ConsiderTeva currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Some better-ranked stocks in the drug/biotech sector are Indivior Pharmaceuticals (INDV - Free Report) , Immunocore (IMCR - Free Report) and Liquidia Corporation (LQDA - Free Report) , each currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Teva's Shift Beyond Generics Puts Focus on Branded Drug Growth
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Teva is shifting toward branded medicines as a higher-margin growth driver alongside generics.Sales of Austedo, Ajovy and Uzedy rose 41% year over year to $838 million in first-quarter 2026.Teva expects branded products to generate more than $5 billion in revenues by 2030. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA - Free Report) has, for long, been one of the world’s largest generic drug companies. However, Teva is gradually transitioning from a pure-play generics company to a more diversified biopharma company. Its biggest growth driver now is its higher-margin branded/innovative drugs rather than traditional generics.

The company's strategic transformation accelerated under its "Pivot to Growth" initiative. Management has focused on strengthening the branded drugs segment by investing in research and development, pursuing targeted acquisitions and partnerships, and expanding its commercial capabilities in specialty therapeutic areas. Rather than attempting to compete across numerous disease categories, Teva has concentrated on areas where it possesses scientific expertise and can establish meaningful market positions, including neuroscience, immunology and respiratory diseases.

The company is seeing continued market share growth of its newest branded drugs, Austedo, Ajovy and Uzedy. Collectively, sales of Austedo, Ajovy and Uzedy rose 41% year over year to $838 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Global sales of Austedo, one of the major pillars of Teva's branded business, rose 41% to $578 million in the first quarter, backed by strong prescription growth. The drug is approved for movement disorders associated with conditions such as tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease. Teva expects Austedo annual revenues to be more than $2.5 billion by 2027 and exceed $3 billion by 2030. The Austedo franchise got a boost from the launch of Austedo XR, a new once-daily formulation of Austedo. Teva launched Austedo in European markets in 2026, which should further contribute to growth.

Global revenues of its migraine drug, Ajovy, rose 35% (constant currency) year over year to $196.0 million in the first quarter. Although Teva is experiencing slightly slower growth of Ajovy in the U.S. market, it anticipates sales to benefit from continued patient growth and launches in additional countries in Europe and international markets. In 2026, Ajovy sales are expected to be in the range of $750 million to $790 million.

Another important branded asset is Uzedy, a long-acting injectable treatment for schizophrenia. Management believes Uzedy has substantial long-term potential because long-acting injectable antipsychotics are increasingly being adopted in psychiatric care. Sales of Uzedy rose 62% to $63 million in the first quarter, with total sales expected to be between $250 million and $280 million in 2026.

The company has also made decent progress with its branded pipeline, which includes olanzapine, a long-acting subcutaneous injectable (LAI) for treating schizophrenia and duvakitug, its anti-TL1A therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Teva has partnered with Sanofi (SNY - Free Report) for duvakitug to maximize the value of the asset. Teva and Sanofi will equally share the development costs globally. While olanzapine LAI is under review in the United States and the EU, Sanofi is conducting phase III studies on duvakitug.

In April, Teva announced a definitive agreement to acquire Emalex, including its lead asset, ecopipam. The acquisition closed in June. Ecopipam is a late-stage, first-in-class therapy for pediatric Tourette syndrome, which is a natural fit for Teva’s central nervous system franchise. Earlier this month, Teva filed a new drug application to the FDA seeking approval for ecopipam.

While generics remain an important part of Teva's business and continue to generate substantial revenues and cash flows, management's strategy over the past several years has increasingly centered on building a sustainable portfolio of innovative medicines that can drive higher growth and improve profitability. Branded medicines are expected to become increasingly important contributors to Teva's long-term growth because they generally offer significantly higher margins and longer periods of market exclusivity than generic products.

In 2022, only about 9% of Teva’s revenues came from its branded drugs, which has now increased to more than 20%. Teva anticipates generating more than $5 billion in revenues from its branded products by 2030.

If Teva continues to successfully commercialize its existing branded products and advance its pipeline, the company could evolve into a more diversified pharmaceutical company with a healthier balance between stable generics operations and higher-growth innovative medicines.

TEVA’s Price, Valuation & Estimate DiscussionTeva stock has risen 3.2% so far this year against the industry’s 5.1% decrease.

Wall Street Thinks Teva Stock Still Has Room to Run After Soaring Over 100%. Here's Why Analysts Are Right.
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Once upon a time, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA +0.20%) was a stock that many investors didn't want to touch with a 10-foot pole. The pharmaceutical company faced legal challenges over its opioid drugs. Its debt load was staggering. Sentiment was overwhelmingly negative.

But there's a much different story for Teva these days. The pharma stock has soared more than 100% over the last 12 months. Wall Street thinks that Teva has even more room to run. Are analysts right to be bullish? I think so.

Of the 13 analysts surveyed by S&P Global (SPGI +1.52%) in May, 12 rated Teva as a "buy" or "strong buy." The lone outlier recommending holding the stock. The consensus 12-month price target reflects a potential upside of around 11%.

Why is Wall Street still bullish about Teva after its impressive gains? For one thing, the company's branded portfolio is firing on all cylinders. Huntington's chorea and tardive dyskinesia drug Austedo is leading the way, with first-quarter sales jumping 41% year over year to $578 million.

Teva has also paid down much of its debt. Its financial leverage stood at 67% as of March 31, 2026, a significant improvement from the past. The company is cutting costs, too. Teva expects to realize around $470 million of net savings this year from its transformation initiatives.

Analysts recognize the promise of Teva's pipeline. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is set to make a decision later this year on approval of olanzapine extended-release injectable suspension (TEV-'749) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Evercore ISI's (EVR +0.64%) Umer Raffat thinks the potential FDA approval of olanzapine is Teva's "most meaningful catalyst."

Furthermore, Teva's valuation still looks attractive even after its tremendous performance over the last 12 months. The stock trades at only 13 times forward earnings, well below the average forward earnings multiple of 16.5 for the healthcare sector. You could argue that's value stock territory.

Teva's turnaround is real There's no question at this point that Teva's turnaround is real. And Wall Street believes the stock has more gas in the tank.

To be sure, Teva still faces challenges. Some litigation uncertainty lingers. The company's generic-drug business continues to face pricing pressure. Pipeline setbacks are a perpetual threat.

However, Teva is no longer a company in crisis. Its revenue and profits are growing. Its balance sheet is stronger. Most stories that begin with "once upon a time" have a happy ending. This one could, too, if analysts are right.

Teva Stock Is at Its Highest Level in Nearly a Decade. Here's Why It Could Soar Even More.
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
It's no longer a secret that the Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA +0.20%) of the past is no more. The Israel-based company is no longer strictly a generic-drug maker, burdened by heavy debt and legal liabilities related to the opioid crisis.

While generic drugs remain a large portion of Teva's overall business, they made up just over 50% of overall sales in the last quarter. Branded drug products could soon account for the majority of the company's annual revenue.

In recent years, Teva has also reduced outstanding debt by over $5 billion, and has settled its past opioid-related legal issues. Wall Street has taken notice of the transformed Teva, as evidenced by the stock's strong performance, particularly its more than doubling over the past 12 months.

Image source: Getty Images.

However, Teva still has plenty of room to run and appears poised to take off in a big way over the next few years, as this turnaround company has the potential to become a promising growth stock.

Teva and its ongoing transformation As seen in Teva's first-quarter earnings report, its branded drug portfolio currently serves as the company's main growth driver. Although overall sales declined by 1% last quarter to $4 billion, this was due to a 13% drop in the company's generic drug sales. Among branded products, Teva knocked it out of the park.

For example, Austedo, a treatment for Huntington's disease-related involuntary movement disorders, generated $578 million in revenue, a 41% increase from a year ago. Another branded drug, migraine prevention therapy Ajovy, reported $196 million in sales, a 35% year-over-year increase, while schizophrenia treatment Uzedy reported $63 million in sales, a 62% increase.

At the same time, Teva's generic drug unit continues to shift toward biosimilars, or FDA-approved versions of existing drugs. The segment is expected to deliver $800 million in revenue by 2027. Over time, this could help stabilize and grow the company's legacy business unit.

These small improvements notwithstanding, what has investors bidding up Teva shares is the potential of the company's drug pipeline. Over the next decade, this pipeline could add a litany of new blockbuster drugs to the company's portfolio.

Why things are still just getting started The situation may be improving incrementally with Teva, but again, that's not the reason investors are getting excited about this stock. Between 2026 and 2030 alone, the company could bring a schizophrenia treatment, an asthma treatment, and an ulcerative colitis treatment to market.

In the aggregate, these therapies could add as much as $7 billion to annual sales. Teva is also adding promising drug candidates to its portfolio via acquisition, such as a recently announced deal to acquire privately held Emalex Biosciences, for $700 million in cash plus $200 million in potential earn-out payments.

Emalex's main asset is a Tourette's treatment known as ecopipam. While ecopipam is still in late-stage clinical trials, this candidate is another potential blockbuster drug in the making. As analysts at Jefferies recently argued, this drug could eventually reach $1 billion in peak annual sales. With this in mind, Teva appears well positioned to meet forecasts calling for 30% earnings growth in 2027.

Similarly strong results could become possible in 2028 and beyond. Trading at 13 times forward earnings, Teva's valuation is in the mid-range among pharmaceutical stocks. At this reasonable valuation, shares could rise in line with earnings growth. Given these promising prospects, consider Teva a solid long-term buy among healthcare stocks.

The European Medicines Agency Accepts Teva's Marketing Authorization Application for Olanzapine Long-Acting Injectable (TEV-‘749) for the Treatment of Schizophrenia in Adults
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-’749) is designed to deliver the efficacy of olanzapine in a subcutaneous formulation1 administered every four weeks.If approved, TEV-‘749 could help fill a significant unmet need in available schizophrenia treatment options by addressing the lack of a viable long-acting olanzapine formulation.Teva is committed to advancing this innovative treatment option, strengthening its scientific leadership in complex neurological conditions as part of its Pivot to Growth strategy. TEL AVIV, Israel and PARIS, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals International GmbH, a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: and TASE: TEVA) and Medincell (Euronext: MEDCL), today announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-‘749) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. TEV-‘749 aims to address treatment adherence in real-world settings and contribute to long-term disease management in people living with schizophrenia.1

“Treatment adherence remains a challenge for people living with schizophrenia including those who rely on oral forms of Olanzapine. TEV-‘749, our investigational subcutaneously delivered olanzapine LAI, has the potential to help provide stability by offering the proven efficacy and safety of olanzapine as a once-every four weeks treatment,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. “For too long, treatment options have been limited by the lack of a viable long-acting olanzapine formulation, and we look forward to working with the EMA to help address this gap in care.”

“Daily oral olanzapine is one of the most commonly prescribed antipsychotics in Europe for people living with schizophrenia, and long-acting injectables are already well established in managing serious psychiatric conditions across the region,” said Christophe Douat, CEO of Medincell. “We believe a practical long-acting olanzapine option that fits more naturally into patients’ lives can help address a real and persistent need in schizophrenia.”

Schizophrenia affects 0.3 - 1.5% of the population in Europe2, yet those living with the condition often face profound challenges of social isolation, unstable employment 3, and a life expectancy reduced by 15–20 years 4.

TEV-‘749 is not approved by any regulatory authority worldwide at this time. The submission to the EMA is supported by an extensive clinical development program, including the Phase 3 SOLARIS study. Across clinical development, TEV-‘749 demonstrated efficacy, a systemic safety profile, and exposure consistent with oral olanzapine.

TEV-‘749 utilizes SteadyTeq™, a copolymer technology proprietary to Medincell that provides a controlled, steady, prolonged release of olanzapine.

About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, progressive and severely debilitating mental disorder that affects how one thinks, feels and acts.2 Patients experience an array of symptoms, which may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior and impaired cognitive ability.2,3,4 Approximately 1% of the world’s population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime, and 0.3 - 1.5% of the population in Europe are currently diagnosed with the condition.3,4 Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women.4 The long-term course of schizophrenia is marked by episodes of partial or full remission broken by relapses that often occur in the context of psychiatric emergency and require hospitalization.4 Approximately 80% of patients experience multiple relapses over the first five years of treatment, and each relapse carries a biological risk of loss of function, treatment refractoriness, and changes in brain morphology.5,6,7 Patients are often unaware of their illness and its consequences, contributing to treatment nonadherence, high discontinuation rates, and ultimately, significant direct and indirect healthcare costs from subsequent relapses and hospitalizations.2,3,4,5,6,7

TEVA's MAA for Olanzapine LAI in Schizophrenia Accepted in the EU
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Teva's MAA for olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-'749) in adults with schizophrenia accepted by EMA.TEVA backed the filing with phase III SOLARIS data showing efficacy similar to oral olanzapine.TEVA said the once-monthly injection could address the unmet need for long-acting olanzapine options. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA - Free Report) announced that the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) has accepted its marketing authorization application (“MAA”) seeking approval for olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-‘749) for treating adults with schizophrenia.

The filing in Europe is supported by an extensive clinical development program, including data from the phase III SOLARIS study. TEV-‘749 showed similar efficacy and safety to existing oral olanzapine products.

The olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-’749) is being developed as a once-monthly subcutaneous injection designed to provide the benefits of olanzapine. Olanzapine is a prescription atypical antipsychotic medication used primarily to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Management noted that upon potential approval, TEV-‘749 could address a major unmet need in schizophrenia treatment by addressing the lack of a viable long-acting olanzapine option.

Olanzapine LAI is currently under review in the United States for treating schizophrenia in adults.

TEVA’s Price PerformanceYear to date, shares of Teva have rallied 9.4% compared with the industry’s 0.3% rise.

TEVA Eyes Expansion of Schizophrenia PortfolioTEVA currently markets Uzedy extended-release injectable suspension, a long-acting subcutaneous atypical antipsychotic injection, which was approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in the United States in 2023.

Uzedy is one of the key new branded drugs for Teva, contributing meaningfully to its revenues.

In the first quarter of 2026, Uzedy’s sales surged 62% year over year to $63 million, mainly driven by volume growth. TEVA anticipates Uzedy sales to be in the range of $250-$280 million in 2026.

A potential nod to olanzapine long-acting injectable (TEV-‘749) will help Teva diversify and address a broader schizophrenia patient population.

Besides olanzapine LAI, Teva has also made decent progress with its branded pipeline, which includes duvakitug, its anti-TL1A therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.The company has partnered with Sanofi (SNY - Free Report) for duvakitug to maximize the value of the asset.

Teva and Sanofi will equally share the development costs globally. SNY is conducting phase III studies on duvakitug.

Some better-ranked stocks in the biotech sector are Immunocore (IMCR - Free Report) and Liquidia Corporation (LQDA - Free Report) , each currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Just Pulled Off One of Pharma's Most Impressive Comebacks
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Consider Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA +0.20%) the "comeback kid" among pharmaceutical stocks. As recently as a few years ago, the Israel-based company was not just facing headwinds with its legacy generic drug business, but also contending with high debt and massive opioid-related litigation liabilities.

Now Teva strengthened its balance sheet and put litigation issues into the rearview mirror, while transforming from a low-margin generic drug maker into a developer of higher-margin branded pharmaceuticals.

Better yet, the pivot remains in motion. Around 50% of Teva's overall sales are in generics, but this figure continues to change. Don't assume that the stock's 100% jump over the past year is a one-and-done event. As the transformation continues, shares may be in for further earnings growth and price appreciation.

Image source: Getty Images.

Teva and its spectacular comeback In 2024, when generic drugs made up over 57% of Teva's overall sales, the company reported $16.5 billion in sales; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $4.8 billion; and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings of $2.49 per share. A year later, generic drugs accounted for just half of Teva's overall sales, and the further increase in branded drug sales led to solid improvements in profitability.

Today's Change

While overall sales increased by just 5%, to $17.3 billion, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased by 12% and 19%, respectively, during 2025. Furthermore, Teva reported strong sales figures for its flagship branded drug, Austedo, a treatment for certain Huntington's disease symptoms, as well as for its two up-and-coming branded drug products, Uzedy, a treatment for schizophrenia, and Ajovy, a therapy for migraine prevention. Last year, their sales were up 34%, 63%, and 30%, respectively.

In its latest earnings report, Teva reported sales growth for Austedo, Uzedy, and Ajovy of 41%, 62%, and 35%, respectively, as well as reiterated revenue outlook for each of the three branded drugs. The company also continued to use its cash flow to pay down debt. Over the past four years, net debt has decreased by over $5.5 billion, from $18.4 billion as of Dec. 31, 2022, to $12.9 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Why this hot pharma stock may have more room to run Don't expect things to slow down from here. If anything, Teva's transformation is gaining momentum. Analyst forecasts call for EPS to grow by around 30.8% during 2027. Earnings growth could stay elevated, even if Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy sales start to peak. Progress in bringing more of its pipeline candidates to market could help sustain organic growth.

Outside of organic growth, Teva has other avenues to improve earnings. A recent deal to acquire Emalex Biosciences for $700 million adds yet another potential blockbuster drug, ecopipam, to Teva's portfolio. Ecopipam is a Tourette syndrome treatment, and is close to the regulatory finishing line. Other efforts, such as further debt reduction, could also move the needle on Teva's continued high earnings growth.

Even if the stock merely maintains its current valuation of 14.7 times forward earnings, and shares rise in line with earnings growth, this could produce another strong run. As shares sit just a few dollars below multiyear highs, consider Teva one of the best pharmaceutical stocks to buy and hold.

TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News

On June 02, 2026, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd TEVA shares fell 4.5% to a current price of $33.08. This decline comes in the context of a 52-week trading range between $14.99 and $37.35, with a one-year increase of 91.7% still reflecting a solid performance over the longer term.

GF Value™ verdict indicates that TEVA's current price is 63.7% above its estimated fair value of $20.21.With a GF Score™ of 55/100, Teva is considered an average stock based on key performance metrics.Insider activity has seen a significant sell-off, with insiders selling $44.5 million in stock over the last three months, indicating a lack of confidence from those with the most intimate knowledge of the company. Is TEVA Overvalued or Undervalued? Teva's current share price of $33.08 significantly exceeds its GF Value™, which is estimated at $20.21. This valuation suggests that the stock is overvalued by approximately 63.7%, indicating a substantial margin of safety for potential investors if they were considering an entry point at this price. The GF Valuation label categorizes TEVA as "Significantly Overvalued," which signals a risk for investors as the stock may not justify its current price based on intrinsic value. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.

The overvaluation implies that investors are currently paying a premium for TEVA shares that may not be sustainable. This could lead to a price correction in the future, especially if the company fails to meet growth expectations or if broader market conditions change.

Teva Presents New Data on AUSTEDO® (deutetrabenazine) tablets and AUSTEDO XR® (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets that Show Patient- and Caregiver-Reported Improvements in Huntington's Disease Chorea
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
New real-world survey data reveal the daily impact of Huntington’s disease (HD) chorea, with over 68% of patients reporting interference with social life or emotional wellbeing1 and up to 83% of caregivers noting impact on their own daily lives.2Following treatment with AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR, most patients (60-71%) reported improvement across multiple quality of life domains as a result of their improved movements.1 As a result of the patient’s reduced chorea impact, most caregivers reported less impact to their daily lives.2These real-world findings reinforce Teva's commitment to advancing innovative treatment options that improve the lives of individuals living with HD chorea and their caregivers. PARSIPPANY, N.J. and TEL AVIV, Israel, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced new data from the first and only real-world, decentralized study evaluating the patient- and caregiver-reported quality of life impacts of Huntington’s disease (HD) chorea3 and the effect of AUSTEDO® or AUSTEDO XR® on symptom management. The findings demonstrate that treating chorea with AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR led to symptom improvement and, as a result, showed improvements across multiple quality of life measures.1,2 The data were presented at the Advanced Therapeutics in Movement & Related Disorders® Congress, held June 4 – 8, 2026, in Washington, DC.

“What we are seeing reinforced from these real-world data is how deeply Huntington’s disease chorea affects patients – physically, emotionally and in their ability to function day-to-day – and the strain it can place on their care partners,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. “That’s why our patient-centric approach is fundamental to our work at Teva, and why we are proud to see AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR delivering such meaningful improvement for patients and making a real difference in the lives of those impacted.”

Self-reported HD chorea patient participants (≥18 years) in the United States completed a non-interventional, online survey through the myHDstory® platform, which included questions regarding chorea impact on quality of life, severity, current treatment and self-defined goals for management. Participants taking AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR completed additional questions evaluating perceived changes in burden since treatment initiation, including the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale. Caregivers (≥18 years) of individuals with HD chorea also completed an online survey, reporting on how their care recipient’s chorea affected their own daily functioning across multiple quality of life domains.

Prior to treatment survey findings revealed:

Patients reported self-defined aspirational goals that they would like to improve with HD chorea treatment focused on their daily activities and social life. Caregivers also reported goals focused on their own wellbeing.Across the real-world survey population, patients reported HD chorea often interfered with social life (71-84%), emotional wellbeing (68-77%), daily activities (70-78%) and vocational/recreational life (67-82%).1 Caregivers also reported substantial impact across their own social functioning (73–84%), emotional wellbeing (71–84%), daily activities (81–83%) and vocational/recreational life (76-83%) due to their caregiving responsibilities.2 As a result of reduced HD chorea movements in patients treated with AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR, the survey findings revealed:

74% of patients reported improvements in their chorea movements since initiating treatment, measured by the PGIC scale.1As a result of movement reduction, over 85% of surveyed patients reported improvements in goals related to daily activities, such as dressing, walking and eating, and goals related to their social lives, such as going out with friends and family.177% of caregivers of patients reported improvements in goals related to their social life, such as going out on their own and emotional wellbeing, including reduced guilt, stress and emotional burden.2 “Huntington’s disease chorea extends beyond its physical symptoms, disrupting patients’ emotional wellbeing, social functioning and sense of self, while also placing immense strain on caregivers,” said Daniel Claassen, MD, MS, Professor of Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, principal investigator of the study and CEO, Huntington’s Study Group. “These real-world findings demonstrate the importance of effective chorea management to aid in preserving independence longer and alleviating those impacts for both patients and caregivers.”

The study presented, executed in collaboration with the Huntington Study Group, is the only real-world study assessing the impact of HD chorea on patients’ and caregivers’ quality of life to date.3

About Chorea Associated with Huntington’s Disease (HD)
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by uncoordinated and uncontrollable movements, cognitive deterioration and behavioral and/or psychological problems. Chorea – involuntary, random and sudden, twisting and/or writhing movements – is one of the most striking physical manifestations of Huntington’s disease and occurs in approximately 90% of patients. Chorea can have a significant impact on daily activities and progressively limit peoples’ lives.4,5

About AUSTEDO XR Extended-Release Tablets and AUSTEDO Tablets
AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are the first vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in adults for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. AUSTEDO XR is the once-daily formulation of AUSTEDO.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets and AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) tablets are indicated in adults for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington’s Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidality and instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression. 

Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients with Huntington’s disease who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.   

Clinical Worsening and Adverse Events in Patients with Huntington’s Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO in their patients by assessing the effect on chorea and possible adverse effects. 

QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO is administered within the recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.  

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO; intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.   

Akathisia, Agitation, and Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy. 

Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington’s disease or tardive dyskinesia. Parkinsonism has also been observed with other VMAT2 inhibitors. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy. 

Sedation and Somnolence: Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO and know how the drug affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects and worsen sedation and somnolence. 

Hyperprolactinemia: Tetrabenazine elevates serum prolactin concentrations in humans. If there is a clinical suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory testing should be done and consideration should be given to discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO.   

Binding to Melanin-Containing Tissues: Deutetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues and could accumulate in these tissues over time. Prescribers should be aware of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects. 

Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (>8% and greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study in patients with Huntington’s disease were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue. The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (4% and greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies in patients with tardive dyskinesia were nasopharyngitis and insomnia.  Adverse reactions with AUSTEDO XR extended-release tablets are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO tablets.

Teva's Data on AUSTEDO® (deutetrabenazine) tablets and AUSTEDO XR® (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets Highlight Long-Term Advances in Tardive Dyskinesia Treatment and Care
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
New analysis from the IMPACT-TD Registry demonstrates that treatment with AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR led to reductions in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) scores in all participants, which were associated with improved activities of daily living.Further data from the 3-year RIM-TD study reinforces the importance of sustained treatment, showing >50% of patients achieve a clinically meaningful response to AUSTEDO by week 15, with additional patients achieving response with continued treatment.The comprehensive data package presented at Psych Congress Elevate advances clinical understanding of TD from diagnosis to long-term management, underscoring Teva's commitment to improving outcomes for the full spectrum of individuals living with TD.
PARSIPPANY, N.J. and TEL AVIV, Israel, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced new data that highlight the comprehensive tardive dyskinesia (TD) symptom improvement from treatment with AUSTEDO® and AUSTEDO XR®. The new findings, drawn from three separate studies, were presented at Psych Congress Elevate, held June 3 – 6, 2026, in Las Vegas, NV.

“The data presented at Psych Congress Elevate represent Teva’s pursuit to better understanding the full human experience of tardive dyskinesia,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "We are dedicated to not only advancing science but also striving to close critical gaps in diagnosis and clinical management of tardive dyskinesia. By generating robust evidence for a broader range of patients, including those with mild TD, and providing insights that guide optimal long-term treatment strategies, we are working to deliver innovations that make a meaningful difference in the day-to-day lives of those living with this condition.”

The new findings from Teva’s latest research revealed:

Benefit in Mild TD (IMPACT-TD): New real-world insights from the IMPACT-TD Registry, the largest real-world study of TD,1 evaluated patients with mild symptoms who were starting AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR treatment. At three months, all participants showed reductions in their Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) score while maintaining their psychiatric stability; and participants with a clinically meaningful baseline burden in areas such as activities of daily living, psychosocial functioning, speech and communication reported improvement in these domains due to the reduction of TD movements.Value of Sustained Treatment (RIM-TD): An analysis from the 3-year RIM-TD open-label study found that an increasing percentage of patients responded to treatment over the course of the study. While >50% showed AIMS improvement within 15 weeks, an additional 23% saw improvement after week 15. This underscores the possibility of increasing improvement when patients stay on treatment.Closing the Diagnosis Gap: A study focused on caregiver education found that providing TD-specific educational content developed in collaboration with patient advocacy groups via online platforms prompted crucial conversations with healthcare professionals. Within six months, 53% of care recipients at risk of TD discussed TD with a provider, and 34% received a TD diagnosis, highlighting an effective strategy to improve disease recognition. "These findings are significant because they add to the real-world evidence supporting treatment benefit for patients with mild tardive dyskinesia," said Richard Jackson, MD, Assistant Clinical Adjunct Professor at the University of Michigan School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry and IMPACT-TD principal investigator. "In clinical practice, we know that even so-called 'mild' involuntary movements can have a profound, multidimensional impact on a person's quality of life. These data give clinicians greater confidence to identify and treat TD early, offering the potential to improve outcomes for patients who might have previously been overlooked."

Teva remains deeply committed to advancing the science of tardive dyskinesia and supporting the full needs of the TD community.

About Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a highly debilitating, chronic movement disorder that affects one in four people who take certain mental health treatments and is characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, and repetitive movements of the face, torso, and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact individuals.2,3,4

Ecopipam, an investigational asset for pediatric Tourette syndrome (TS), is a first-in-class selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonist with a novel mechanism of action and has received FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations. The acquisition expands Teva’s innovative pipeline in a specialized area of neuroscience with significant unmet need and is expected to support near- and long-term growth. At closing, Teva paid $700 million consideration with the potential for up to an additional $200 million in commercial milestone payments, as well as net sales-based royalties, upon commercialization and subject to regulatory approval.  TEL AVIV, Israel, June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced the closing of Teva’s acquisition of Emalex Biosciences, strengthening its late-stage pipeline with ecopipam and further advancing its Pivot to Growth strategy. Phase 3 data for ecopipam were recently published in JAMA Neurology, and a U.S. NDA submission is anticipated in the second half of 2026. 

“This acquisition reflects our Pivot to Growth strategy in action, advancing our innovative pipeline through focused, capital-efficient business development,” said Richard Francis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teva. “It adds a late-stage opportunity with potential to address a significant unmet need in Tourette syndrome, and with our deep neuroscience expertise, we are well-positioned to advance this program.”  

Emalex Biosciences was created by Paragon Biosciences to develop new treatments for central nervous system disorders. Emalex, supported by Paragon, advanced the asset through clinical development and compiled the NDA submission for pediatric Tourette syndrome.

About Tourette Syndrome 
Tourette syndrome is a chronic neuro-developmental disorder characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics beginning in childhood, often between 5 and 10 years of age. For people living with Tourette syndrome, symptoms can be frequent, visible, and disruptive, affecting everyday life. Current treatment approaches can help, but many patients still do not get the level of control they need, or are limited by side effects, underscoring the need for additional options.  

About ecopipam 
Ecopipam is a first-in-class investigational compound designed to block dopamine signaling at the D1 receptor. D1 receptor hypersensitivity may contribute to repetitive and compulsive behaviors associated with Tourette syndrome.   

Ecopipam has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA for the treatment of pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome. Orphan Drug designation is reserved for patient populations of 200,000 or fewer.  

The Phase 3 Tourette syndrome study results were recently published in JAMA Neurology. The primary efficacy endpoint in the study was time to relapse for pediatric patients stable and responding to ecopipam then randomized to ecopipam or placebo. The study showed statistical significance between ecopipam and placebo for the primary efficacy endpoint in pediatric patients (p = 0.0084). Ecopipam was generally well-tolerated in the study and the most common adverse events related to ecopipam therapy were somnolence (10.2%), insomnia (7.4%), anxiety (6.0%), fatigue (5.6%), and headache (5.1%).

Agreement highlights Paragon’s ability to build companies around important science, advance registration-ready assets, and deliver value through strategic transactions

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paragon Biosciences today announced the closing of the sale of Emalex Biosciences to Teva Pharmaceutical, reinforcing Paragon's ability to build innovative biotechnology companies that deliver important treatments to the patients who need them.

"Building companies that translate scientific breakthroughs into medicines for patients is the foundation of Paragon's mission," said Jeff Aronin, Paragon Biosciences founder and CEO.

Share Emalex is another Paragon Biosciences-founded company built to develop a novel class of treatment for patients with central nervous system disorders, following in the footsteps of other successful Paragon companies such as Harmony Biosciences (NASDAQ: HRMY). Ecopipam, an investigational compound, was developed by Emalex for Tourette syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that can significantly affect daily life for patients and families.

Paragon, supporting Emalex, advanced the drug through clinical development and the compilation of the NDA that will be submitted in the second half of 2026. The acquisition by Teva comprises $700 million in cash and up to $200 million in commercial milestone payments as well as net-sales-based royalties, subject to regulatory approval.

"This transaction is a testament to the talent, perseverance and vision of the Paragon and Emalex teams. Together, they transformed promising science into a registration-ready program with the potential to become the first new treatment option for Tourette syndrome in over a decade. Their work demonstrates the power of focused innovation to address diseases that have been underserved for far too long,” said Jeff Aronin, Paragon Biosciences founder and CEO.

“Building companies that translate scientific breakthroughs into medicines for patients is the foundation of Paragon's mission. From CNS disorders to rare diseases, we continue to identify important unmet needs, assemble exceptional teams and advance therapies that have the potential to change lives. We are incredibly proud of what the Emalex team has accomplished and excited to see ecopipam move into its next chapter,” Aronin added.

Phase 3 results published in JAMA Neurology showed that ecopipam reduced time to relapse compared to placebo and maintained clinically meaningful tic improvement in subjects with Tourette syndrome.

Ecopipam remains investigational and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“Emalex reflects what Paragon does best, building companies with discipline, urgency and a clear path from scientific insight to patient impact,” said Eric Messner, chief executive officer of Emalex Biosciences. “From the beginning, the team focused on rigorous clinical execution and a significant unmet need. With the transaction now closed, ecopipam is positioned for its next stage as it approaches planned regulatory submission and, if approved, potential access for patients.”

Teva's Biosimilar Boom Is Just Getting Started. Is It Time to Buy This Rebounding Pharma Stock?
TEVA Teva Pharmaceutical
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA +0.20%) has clawed back from the brink like few drugmakers have. After a long stretch of poor performance, a company once buried under debt, patent cliffs, and litigation is now up by 97% in the last 12 months. The bull case credits its expanding biosimilars lineup, and that quickly growing segment could mean the stock has more room to run.

Still, a recently risen share price and a growing product line are not the same as a stock worth buying today. Will biosimilars truly move the needle for a business this size? Is the easy money already made, or is there more to come? Let's find out.

What the biosimilar build-out will accomplish If you aren't familiar, a biosimilar drug is a near-copy of a biologic medicine like an antibody or protein. Unlike generic medicines that are small molecules which can be synthesized fairly inexpensively at scale, biosimilars are almost always quite costly and fairly slow to make, which is why Teva sources most of its biosimilars through a biotech partner, Alvotech, that develops and manufactures them while Teva handles commercialization in the U.S.

That means that Teva captures only a slice of the proceeds in a category that's characterized by narrow margins and a high degree of competition based around providing lower prices. In other words, biosimilars launch at steep discounts to their branded equivalents by necessity and then are forced to erode further with each new entrant.

The copies of AbbVie's Humira are the cautionary tale to know here. Uptake crawled for over a year until pharmacy-benefit managers (PBMs) swapped in versions priced far below the brand name medicine. Even so, the Humira copies took only about 21% of volume by late 2024, and Teva's biosimilar Selarsdi now battles a handful of rivals for what's left of the pie.

As for what's already approved and what's coming, Teva has two Alvotech-partnered biosimilars on the U.S. market so far: Simlandi, its copy of Humira, which launched in May 2024, and Selarsdi, its Stelara copy, which followed in February 2025. Three more are working through the the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Proposed biosimilars to the inflammatory-disease drug Simponi and the eye drug Eylea were resubmitted in June 2026 and are under a six-month review, while a proposed interchangeable biosimilar to the bowel-disease drug Entyvio was accepted for review that same month.

On that note, Teva expects its biosimilars business to roughly double to around $800 million by 2027.

The real comeback is elsewhere So if biosimilars aren't the story of Teva's resurgence, what is?

In short, the rebound is currently running on Teva's branded drugs, led by Austedo, which is prescribed for the involuntary movements of tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease and reached about $2.3 billion in sales in 2025, with smaller contributions from Ajovy for migraine and Uzedy for schizophrenia.

The issue with buying this stock now, in hopes of riding its future growth, is that Teva presently trades around 25 times its trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is a fair price for a specialty drugmaker and not really a bargain. The formerly distressed valuation that made this stock an easy win is long gone; its 2026 revenue is set to be flat to lower.

The turnaround is ongoing, and it will probably continue. Nonetheless, investors have bet on Teva's promise of cheap, efficient scale of generic medicines before and been punished for it, and with the easy rerating spent, the pharma industry offers better opportunities for growth elsewhere. This one is worth watching but not buying.
