Bernstein Reaffirms Outperform on Gilead as Medicaid Risk Appears Contained

Group 1 - Bernstein SocGen Group reiterated its Outperform rating and $135 price target on Gilead Sciences, citing limited financial exposure to recent Medicaid pricing developments [1] - Only certain products, representing about 60% of Gilead's portfolio, were aligning with MFN pricing for Medicaid, specifically Genvoya and Odefsey, which together generated approximately $750 million in Medicaid gross spend in 2023 [2] - Concerns around Medicaid pricing risk for Biktarvy were alleviated, with negotiations resulting in a favorable outcome, and the estimated 2026 revenue impact for Genvoya and Odefsey combined is expected to be minimal, less than $200 million, and in the low single-digit percentage range for the overall company [3]
