Reason
Truist analyst Gregory Renza assumed coverage of Gilead with a Buy rating with a price target of $140, down from $145. The firm is positive on the continued strength for the company's HIV franchise, supported by Biktarvy's patent settlement and positive momentum across next-generation programs,most notably Yeztugo's PrEP launch and Bic/Len's positive phase 3 readout, pointing to a healthy outlook into the next-decade, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist adds that it also views the oncology franchise as a key growth pillar led by Trodelvy and anito-cel, further noting that Livdelzi's launch in PBC - Primary Biliary Cholangitis - is off to a strong start.

BMO Capital says Phase 1 data from three patients in Kelonia Therapeutics' inMMyCAR study "look interesting," with all patients reaching MRD negativity by month one, but adds that the extremely small sample size and limited amount of patient follow-up "muddies comparisons" to Gilead (GILD) and Arcellx's (ACLX) anito-cel program. The tolerability profile of Kelonia's KLN-1010 "looks relatively clean," but the small sample size and the limited amount of patient follow-up "leave significant questions," adds the analyst, who keeps an Outperform rating and $135 price target on Gilead shares.

Reason
Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Gilead to $140 from $131 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm raised its price target primarily due to: Biktarvy's loss of exclusivity in the U.S. now expected to be 2036 instead of 2033 post generic lititgation settlements; the total addressable market for PrEP could be much larger than currently appreciated, and; the firm now models roughly 5% growth for Gilead's HIV business overall, from roughly 3% prior.
