Bristol Myers (BMY) boasts a strong oncology portfolio, featuring blockbuster drugs like Opdivo, Opdivo Qvantig, and Yervoy. Opdivo, with multiple oncology approvals, is a top revenue driver for the company, with sales of $2.5 billion in Q3 driven by label expansions and demand.
Opdivo Qvantig’s approval for subcutaneous use has further strengthened Bristol Myers’ oncology franchise, with sales reaching $67 million in Q3. Global sales of Opdivo, along with Qvantig, are expected to grow in the high single-digit to low double-digit range in 2025, driven by strong performance.
Despite label expansions, Bristol Myers faces competition in the immuno-oncology space from Merck’s Keytruda and Roche’s Tecentriq. Keytruda alone contributes over 50% of Merck’s pharmaceutical sales, while Roche’s Tecentriq is approved for various oncology indications.
Bristol Myers’ shares have declined by 12.9% year-to-date, trading at a discount to the large-cap pharma industry. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 EPS has increased, but decreased for 2026 EPS. Currently holding a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), Bristol Myers continues to focus on label expansions and new drug approvals for revenue stabilization.
