margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Robust revenue growth expected in 2025, accelerating further in 2026 and beyond due to Part D benefit redesign and margin expansion. - Typically, earnings are expected to grow faster than revenue on account of expanding operating margins. - Exception in 2025: net interest expense will dampen earnings growth somewhat, but solid earnings growth will still be delivered. - AbbVie raised adjusted EPS guidance for 2024 to a range of $11.13 to $11.33, up $0.16 from prior guidance, reflecting strong first-quarter results. - The diversified portfolio with multiple growth drivers supports a high-single-digit revenue CAGR through the end of the decade. - Consistent strong top and bottom-line performance driven by ex-Humira growth, with key products showing double-digit revenue growth.
