AbbVie holds a strong portfolio of marketed and pipeline drugs. While the increasing competition to the company's key drug Humira should slow the growth for the company in the near term, we believe the firm's remaining portfolio will mitigate these losses.
AbbVie supports a strong dividend yield, which should act as valuation support, as the cash flows to support the dividend look secure over the next several years.
AbbVie has had to depend on acquisitions to boost its late-stage pipeline, suggesting less successful internal research and development activities.
