AbbVie’s Humira Replacement Strategy Is Working, But Could Growth Be Too Concentrated?

AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $16.99B, up 10.2%, driven by immunology and neuroscience. Skyrizi and Rinvoq revenues grew 24.4% and 24.5% respectively, offsetting Humira's 35.9% decline. However, concentration risk exists as these two products made up 47% of revenue. Oncology and aesthetics showed weaker performance, with oncology revenue down 1.5%. Adjusted EPS rose 22.9% to $3.65.
