Gilead Sciences

Gilead Sciences struck an agreement with the Pan American Health Organization to create a regional procurement pathway for twice-yearly HIV-prevention drug lenacapavir across 14 countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. The arrangement could broaden lenacapavir's commercial footprint and supports Gilead's plan to make the drug a major HIV growth driver, with about $1 billion in expected 2026 sales and recent quarter-to-quarter HIV sales gains. Actual revenue growth will depend on country-level regulatory approvals, government adoption and procurement terms, and wider access or local production could depress pricing and margins versus U.S. levels. The deal strengthens long-term volume potential but leaves near-term earnings exposure to timing and pricing risks across individual markets. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
