Can ABBV's New Parkinson's Pill Strengthen Its Neuroscience Franchise?

AbbVie (ABBV) received FDA approval for Juvmo, a Parkinson's disease treatment, targeting a 2026 launch. The drug expands AbbVie's neuroscience portfolio, which generated $6.1B in H1 2026, with peak sales expected to exceed $5B. The approval may validate AbbVie's 2024 acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics. Competitors Biogen (BIIB) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) also operate in the neuroscience space.
