Gilead Sciences Faces Potential Threat From In Vivo CAR-T, RBC Says

Gilead Sciences (GILD) faces a potential threat from in vivo CAR-T, an early-stage technology that could transform the cell therapy space and impact 10% to 15% of Gilead's future revenue, RBC Capital Markets said Monday.Analysts expect Gilead's ex vivo CAR-T franchise to become an increasingly meaningful revenue driver. Its commercial Yescarta/Tecartus cell therapy portfolio generated $1.8 billion in 2025, and despite headwinds from bispecific competition and challenges scaling beyond academic centers, a gradual recovery is expected as anito-cel launches and ramps, the firm said. Total cell therapy sales could potentially exceed $4 billion around the end of the decade, the brokerage said.While there is room for organic growth of the cell therapy franchise, management believes only 10% to 20% of patients are eligible to actually receive CAR-T, while in vivo cell therapy presents a better alternative, the brokerage added.The company's in vivo focused transactions include the Interius BioTherapeutics acquisition, bringing a lentiviral vector-based in vivo CAR-T platform with preclinical proof of concept data and intellectual property now integrated into Gilead, and the Pregene collaboration, a complementary in vivo vector delivery platform adding intellectual property breadth and a distinct design approach, according to the note.RBC kept a sector perform rating on Gilead Sciences with a price target of $122.Price: $128.63, Change: $-0.53, Percent Change: -0.41%

Gilead's Emvistegrast Readout Unlikely to Move Stock, RBC Says

Gilead Sciences' (GILD) mid-stage trial results from its ulcerative colitis drug candidate, emvistegrast, are not expected to move the stock, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Monday.The outcome from the small molecule drug trial is expected shortly, the note said, adding that the competitive bar is high, and prior oral efforts have not looked great."Focus is likely to remain on Yeztugo/HIV/anito-cel nearterm, and a ph. II readout is unlikely to materially move the stock," the report said.The note said the drug candidate has some pharmacological advantages against others and favorable results could help its immunology and inflammation segment emerge as a potential new area of long-term growth generation.The report pointed to Eli Lilly's (LLY) recent EMERALD-2 phase 2b data that showed only modest efficacy.RBC kept its sector perform rating with a price target of $122.Price: $133.64, Change: $+2.31, Percent Change: +1.76%

Research Alert: We Keep Our Buy Rating On Shares Of Gilead Sciences, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our target at $170 on a multiple of 17.0x our 2027 EPS estimate, above GILD's five-year historical forward P/E average of 10.2x, justified by its improving outlook, in our view. We adjust our 2026 view to a loss of 0.67 per share from an EPS of $8.79 to account for the acquired IPR&D charges related to the Arcellx, Ouro, and Tubulis transactions. We lower our 2027 EPS estimate to $9.98 from $10.19. GILD reported a strong Q1 2026, above expectations for both revenue and EPS. Total product sales rose 5% Y/Y to $6.9B, while sales excluding Veklury (Covid-19 treatment) grew 8% to $6.8B. This performance was supported by robust growth in the HIV franchise, particularly the exceptional launch of the PrEP drug Yeztugo, and strong sales from the oncology drug Trodelvy. We think GILD is making solid progress in its pipeline, which management describes as the strongest in its history, bolstered by the recent acquisitions of Arcellx and the pending acquisitions of Ouro Medicines and Tubulis.

Gilead Sciences Faces Long-Term Questions on Yeztugo Growth, RBC Capital Markets Says

Gilead Sciences (GILD) is seeing strong pre-exposure prophylaxis growth, although questions remain on long-term Yeztugo growth, with expectations for the drug potentially having "gotten ahead of themselves," RBC Capital Markets said in a note Thursday.The brokerage said regional use patterns in existing PrEP markets underscore the challenges Gilead may face in substantially expanding overall PrEP use over the long term, while persistence for Yeztugo "seems not to be as good as initially hoped."The HIV business remains solid, driven by strong US Descovy sales in Q1, and the company's $400 million increase to full-year sales guidance reflects confidence in the continued growth of the business, according to the note.RBC maintained a sector perform rating on the stock and lowered its price target to $122 from $123.Shares of Gilead Sciences were down 2.5% in Friday trading.Price: $130.71, Change: $-3.35, Percent Change: -2.50%

Gilead Sciences' Increased Yeztugo Guidance is 'Good Enough' for the Stock, Morgan Stanley Says

Gilead Sciences (GILD) raised Yeztugo guidance for 2026 to $1 billion from $800 million, which is "good enough" for the stock, since Q1 Yeztugo sales were in line with consensus but likely below investor expectations, Morgan Stanley said Friday.Gilead raised total product sales guidance to $30 billion to $30.4 billion from $29.6 billion to $30 billion previously, versus Morgan Stanley's estimate of $30.3 billion and consensus of $30.2 billion, according to the firm. This excludes unchanged Veklury sales of $600 million, the brokerage said.The company guided to non-GAAP loss per share of $0.65 to $1.05, down from the prior EPS forecast of $8.45 to $8.85, driven by in-process research and development expenses tied to recent acquisitions, the firm said. This compares with Morgan Stanley's $0.68 loss estimate and $8.55 EPS consensus, according to the note.Morgan Stanley kept an overweight rating on Gilead Sciences and lowered the price target to $168 from $175.Price: $131.19, Change: $-2.87, Percent Change: -2.14%

Research Alert: Gild Q1: Strong Hiv And Oncology Growth, Cut Eps Guidance Disappoints

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:GILD delivered strong Q1 2026 results above expectations, with total revenues of $7.0B (+4% Y/Y) and non-GAAP EPS of $2.03 (+12% Y/Y), demonstrating robust momentum across its core HIV franchise. Product sales excluding Veklury grew 8% Y/Y to $6.8B, indicating solid underlying business performance despite the anticipated 52% decline in Veklury sales to $144M. The HIV franchise continued as GILD's primary growth engine with Q1 sales of $5.0B (+10% Y/Y), led by Biktarvy's $3.4B (+7% Y/Y) and Descovy's strong 38% Y/Y growth to $807M, while the successful Yeztugo launch contributed $166M. GILD raised full-year 2026 product sales guidance to $30.0B-$30.4B but sharply lowered its EPS guidance due to $11.5B acquired IPR&D charges from strategic acquisitions. We believe the company's strategic investments in pipeline expansion through the Arcellx, Ouro, and Tubulis transactions position GILD well for long-term growth despite near-term EPS headwinds from acquisition-related charges.
