Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) just reported June quarter revenue up 10.2% from last year to $7.8 billion, ahead of estimates. Due to an $11.2 billion one-time write-off of acquired in-process R&D, they reported a $6.75 per share pro forma loss. But that was smaller than the negative $7.25 consensus expectation

CEO Daniel O’Day said: “Gilead delivered a very strong second quarter, with 10% year-over-year revenue growth in our base business driven by our HIV portfolio, Trodelvy, and Livdelzi. HIV sales grew 12%, reflecting continued strength in treatment and the rapid expansion of our PrEP business, supporting an increase in our base business revenue expectations for 2026.”

Excluding acquired in-process R&D and related financing costs, their full-year pro forma earnings per share would be $8.50-$8.85.
