The GekkoIndex reads 67.1, placing BMY in the Accumulation zone, and the stock trades 41.4% below Gekko Fair Value of $107.66. Over the past year the stock has returned 36.6%, though the most recent month shows a 6.7% decline against a three-month gain of 16.8%.

This week's coverage centers on Sotyktu, with two-year data showing durable responses in psoriatic arthritis as competition in that space increases. Coverage also includes comparisons of BMY against sector peers including AbbVie and argenex, along with confirmation that third-quarter 2026 results will be released on 29 October, with a conference call scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET that day. Broader market commentary references easing oil prices and lower Treasury yields following the Federal Reserve's recent rate hike as context for renewed attention on healthcare names.

Looking ahead to the next 20 trading days, the earnings date of 29 October falls 39 days out, beyond that window. Seasonality over this calendar stretch has averaged a 0.4% decline across 5 years, with gains in only 2 of those years. Analyst coverage spans 20 firms, with 8 at buy, 11 at hold, and 1 at sell, and a consensus target of $66.71 implying 5.8% upside from current levels.

Last earnings call, Jul 30, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Bristol-Myers Squibb reported a strong Q2 2026 with total revenue up 5% year-over-year (~$13B) driven by a 14% increase in the growth portfolio (now ~60% of revenue). Key growth products cited include Reblozyl, Breyanzi, Camzyos, Opdualag, Qvantig (now annualizing >$1B), and Eliquis (demand-driven growth of 21%). Management increased full-year 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS guidance and emphasized disciplined investment, a broad late-stage pipeline, and business development discipline. They highlighted positive clinical updates (e.g., SUCCESSOR-2 mezigdomide data) and multiple upcoming readouts (admilparant in IPF/PPF, Sotyktu in SLE, moponetug tau data next year). Management discussed milvexian (event-driven AFib study) and Cobenfy (ADEPT) enrollment timing—both moving into 2027 readout windows due to slower-than-expected event accrual or deliberate quality-focused enrollment. Overall tone combined commercial execution confidence with cautious explanations for several trial timing shifts. They reiterated focus on operational improvements in clinical trial conduct and R&D prioritization.
Guidance
Management stated they are increasing full-year 2026 revenue and adjusted diluted EPS guidance based on strong first-half momentum and confidence in the second half. No specific numeric guidance figures were disclosed in the transcript.
Risks flagged
Mentioned risks and challenges include slower-than-expected event accrual in several event-driven trials (milvexian AFib, ADEPT-1/Cobenfy), enrollment pace and quality-driven delays in ADEPT-2/ADEPT-4, generic competition impact on legacy portfolio (full generic availability of Revlimid in U.S.), potential step-down in Eliquis revenue after 2026 and patent expirations (Eliquis LOE April 2028; Europe mid-Q4), and general clinical trial execution risks (study design, statistical assumptions, comparator performance).
