Biopharma Industry: Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Impact Reduced by Expected Generic Pressures

Damien Conover Sector Director

Analyst Note

| Damien Conover |

As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Aug. 29 announced the first 10 drugs selected for mandated 2026 Medicare price negotiations. This doesn’t have a major impact on our valuations or moat ratings for the biopharma industry. The 10 drugs have been on the market for a prolonged period (seven years for small-molecule drugs and 11 years for biologics) and were selected based on the largest gross (before discounts) spending in Medicare Part D.
