AbbVie raises 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS outlook and hikes dividend

AbbVie reported third‑quarter 2026 sales of $17.404 billion, up 10.3% year over year, and adjusted earnings of $3.82 per share. The company lifted its full‑year 2026 revenue forecast to $67.8 billion and its adjusted EPS guidance to $13.95‑$13.99. It also increased the quarterly dividend 5.2% to $1.82 per share, sending the stock to a record $294.89.

The higher revenue and earnings guidance suggest stronger future profitability, which may support the stock price. The dividend increase improves cash returns to shareholders while the payout ratio is expected to fall as earnings grow.
