Bristol‑Myers Squibb posts Q3 beat, lifts 2026 revenue outlook and trims full‑year EPS guidance

Bristol‑Myers Squibb reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $13.1 billion, up 7% year‑over‑year, and GAAP earnings of $1.05 per share, with non‑GAAP earnings of $1.35 per share. The company raised its full‑year 2026 revenue guidance to $49.75‑$50.25 billion while lowering its adjusted EPS outlook to $6.35‑$6.55 per share, citing a $0.60‑per‑share acquisition‑related charge. Growth‑portfolio sales rose 12% to $7.7 billion, while legacy‑portfolio revenue grew 1% to $5.4 billion.

The higher revenue forecast signals stronger sales momentum, especially from newer drugs, which may support future cash flow. The reduced EPS guidance reflects the impact of acquisition‑related charges, lowering earnings expectations for the year.
