    Question

    Bristol Myers Squibb Posts $12.9B Revenue as New Therapies Reach 60% of Mix

    Direct answer

    Bristol Myers Squibb reported Q2 revenue of $12.9 billion alongside a 153% surge in adjusted EPS. The performance was anchored by its growth portfolio of commercial assets, which expanded 15% year-over-year. The growth portfolio now represents nearly 60% of aggregate revenue, blunting the revenue erosion from mature legacy products facing patent expirations. Despite a 17% year-to-date share price gain, BMY continues to trade at a valuation discount against diversified large-cap pharmaceutical peers. — bullish pressure on BMY.
