AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) Announces Positive Phase 3 Results for Migraine Drug Atogepant
AbbVie recently announced positive results from its Phase 3 TEMPLE study, marking significant progress in migraine treatment. Over the last month, AbbVie's stock price remained relatively flat, mirroring broader market trends. While the positive study results for Atogepant might have added slight upward pressure, this was tempered by overall market volatility influenced by geopolitical tensions and interest rate speculations. Additionally, other developments, such as the promising FDA label expansion for MAVYRET, might have reinforced investor confidence, but these factors were balanced by an overall stable market performance during the period.

The recent positive results from the Phase 3 TEMPLE study on Atogepant indicate potential revenue growth for AbbVie, as the company advances its pipeline in migraine treatment. This aligns with the company's strategic focus on expanding into areas like obesity and oncology. These therapeutic expansions, alongside promising developments like the FDA label expansion for MAVYRET, are designed to strengthen future earnings. While the stock price remained relatively flat in the short term, largely due to market volatility, these advances could positively influence future revenue and earnings forecasts.
Over the past five years, AbbVie's total shareholder return, including dividends, reached 133.93%, demonstrating substantial long-term value for investors. Despite this strong growth, AbbVie's recent one-year performance underperformed the US market's return of 9.8%. Within the biotech sector specifically, AbbVie surpassed the industry average, which experienced a decline of 9.8% over the same period.
Given AbbVie's current share price of US$187.15 and the consensus analyst price target of US$210.68, the stock appears to reflect potential upside. However, considering the revenue and margin pressures from biosimilar competition, particularly with key drugs like Humira facing competition, these forecast improvements are crucial. Investors should weigh these elements against the expected revenue growth rate and projected earnings of US$19 billion by 2028.

Verizon told to clarify ambiguous advertising claims after T-Mobile complaint
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The National Advertising Division (NAD) has recommended that Verizon change its marketing language about satellite texting based on a complaint from T-Mobile. T-Mobile has also challenged Verizon's claim of being 'America's largest network,' with the watchdog calling Verizon's advertising 'ambiguous.' Verizon has said that it'll comply with NAD's recommendations. Verizon is once again under the lens for its inconspicuous advertising claims. This time, the Big Red has been pulled up over claims about its satellite texting service and network size following a challenge from rival T-Mobile. The National Advertising Division (NAD), an industry watchdog under BBB National Programs, found some of Verizon's claims to be supported but recommended that the carrier make its advertising clearer for the benefit of consumers. NAD said Verizon's slogan 'conquering dead zones with satellite' is not misleading on its own, but warned that Verizon must improve its disclosures. Specifically, the NAD says Verizon failed to clarify that the satellite texting service only works on select new phone models and under certain conditions. Moreover, T-Mobile also took issue with Verizon's 'America's largest network' claim. While Verizon has based that claim on the number of postpaid subscribers, T-Mobile said the phrase could mislead consumers into thinking it refers to coverage area or geographic reach. NAD recommended Verizon clarify what Verizon means by 'largest.' 'NAD found the phrase 'largest network' to be ambiguous, potentially conveying different messages to consumers. NAD also determined that the term 'postpaid phone connections' may not clearly communicate that it refers to Verizon subscribers,' the organization wrote in a press release shared with Android Authority. NAD made similar recommendations to those of Verizon last year and asked the carrier to discontinue or modify its satellite texting claims based on a previous complaint by T-Mobile. Verizon stated it would comply with the NAD's recommendations. While the NAD does not have the power to enforce changes, companies often follow its guidance to avoid legal or regulatory issues. For customers, the ruling means Verizon ads may soon become more transparent, especially regarding satellite texting and what its 'largest network' claims really mean.

Long Island's last duck farm is quacking again after losing its entire flock to the bird flu
AQUEBOGUE, N.Y. (AP) — Doug Corwin knew there was a problem at his family's commercial duck farm in Long Island when he spotted scores of dead or lethargic birds during a barn inspection in January. Within days, Crescent Duck Farm became a casualty of the global avian flu outbreak, one of many farms around the U.S. that had to cull their entire flock, sending the prices of eggs and other agricultural commodities soaring. Now the more than century-old farm — the last duck farm remaining in a New York region once synonymous with the culinary delicacy — is cautiously rebuilding. But for Corwin, a 66-year-old fourth-generation farmer, it's not enough to bring the farm back to its 100,000-bird capacity. With ducks hatched from eggs spared from slaughter, he's working to preserve the unique lineage of fowl that's allowed his family's farm to thrive even as others on Long Island fell by the wayside — all while worrying that another flu outbreak would finally wipe him out. 'All I know is I don't want to be hit again,' Corwin said. 'If I go through this twice, I'm done as a duck farmer.' Make way for ducklings For months, Corwin and his reduced staff have been thoroughly sanitizing the farm's dozens of barns, clearing out hay and debris, and replacing feeders, ventilation systems, wooden and metal structures and more. At the end of May, the first wave of roughly 900 young ducks arrived from a nearby farm where they had been carefully raised in quarantine these last few months. Another batch of 900 arrived last week and some 900 more will soon make their way to the roughly 140-acre (55-hectare) farm in Aquebogue, which is tucked among the vineyards and agricultural lands of Long Island's North Fork, about 80 miles (129 km) east of Manhattan. By the end of next summer, Corwin hopes the first ducks will be ready to be processed and brought to market. But he says he won't rush the reopening. It will be many more months — if ever — before the operation, which processed about 1 million ducks for consumption annually, returns to full capacity, he said. 'I keep telling people I'm running a high hurdle race,' Corwin said. 'I've got a lot a lot of steps to get back to where we were.' Bird flu pandemic still looms Since 2022, the H5N1 strain of bird flu has been detected in all 50 states, leading to more than 1,700 recorded outbreaks affecting nearly 175 million birds, according to the most recent tally from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak at Corwin's farm shows how this strain has inflicted more damage on a wider range of species than past variants, said Dr. Gavin Hitchener, director of Cornell University's Duck Research Laboratory, located a short drive away in Eastport. Ducks have generally been less prone to serious illness and death than chickens and turkeys, he said. H5N1 is also vexing American cattle farmers after the virus jumped from fowl to cattle last year. 'Something has changed in the virus' makeup that has made it more virulent,' Hitchener said. With no end to the bird flu pandemic in sight, Corwin worries he won't be able to weather another outbreak. The farm received federal compensation for its euthanized ducks, but it wasn't nearly close to the market value of the birds — never mind the expense of rebuilding in a high cost region that also includes the Hamptons, he said. Corwin hopes the federal government will, at long last, require poultry operators to vaccinate their livestock against bird flu. It's an uphill climb, given the Trump administration's deep skepticism of vaccines and the long-standing opposition of far larger, industrial poultry operations, he acknowledged. 'I would sleep an awful lot better at night. But right now I'm very nervous,' Corwin said. 'We're just playing with deck chairs on the Titanic.' Carrying on local heritage The ducks newly arrived to the farm are crucial to its revival. Fully grown and approaching breeding age, the cohort of white Pekin ducks were all that survived from the more than 15,000 eggs state officials allowed the farm to spare from the winter culling after they tested negative for bird flu. That means they and their progeny carry on the unique genetic makeup the farm has honed over generations of selective breeding to build its reputation. Established in 1908 by Corwin's great-grandfather, Crescent Duck Farms has been the island's lone commercial duck operation for the better part of a decade. But in the early 1960s, Long Island boasted more than 100 farms producing about two-thirds of the nation's duck output. 'I feel I owe it to the ancestors of farmers who've been here all these years and have come this far to just make a go of it,' Corwin said. 'I want to make Long Island proud.' ___ Follow Philip Marcelo at

Auto Tariffs Seen Hiking Car Prices by Nearly $2,000 Per Vehicle
Car buyers will bear the brunt of the $30 billion cost of President Donald Trump's tariffs, driving up already high US auto prices by almost $2,000 per vehicle, according to consultant AlixPartners. The firm expects auto companies to pass along 80% of the cost of Trump's tariffs — which it calculates as $1,760 more per car. AlixPartners, as part of its annual global automotive outlook, also cautioned that the administration's anti-electric vehicle policies risk relegating American automakers to bit players in the global EV market.
