AbbVie Inc. updated its 2026 earnings guidance to reflect a sizeable first-quarter charge for acquired in-process R&D and milestones. The company expects to record $744 million of pre-tax acquired IPR&D and milestones expense in the first quarter of 2026, which is estimated to reduce both GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share by $0.41.
Including this impact, AbbVie now guides full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS to a range of $13.96 to $14.16, compared with prior guidance that excluded this expense. First-quarter 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance, including the charge, is $2.56 to $2.60, down from the previously announced range of $2.97 to $3.01 that did not include the IPR&D and milestones expense.
