Shares in Teva Pharmaceuticals jumped close to 10% on Wednesday after the Israeli drugmaker shared that growth for its innovative products segment managed to nearly offset slowing generic sales for the second quarter.The company reported that global revenues from its generic medicines, based on local currency, fell 15% year-over-year for the three month period. The drop-off was linked to lower sales in the US for its generic version of Bristol Myers Squibb's cancer drug Revlimid (lenalidomide).Despite the disappointing results for its generic business, Teva's total second-quarter revenues only slipped 3% in local currency — or 1% in US dollars — compared with 2025 to hit $4.14 billion, beating consensus estimates of $4.05 billion. Helping to stabilise the company's revenues were a trio of innovative medicines that collectively saw their sales grow 43% year-over-year to $1 billion in local currency: Austedo ($696 million, +40%), approved to treat tardive dyskinesia and chorea related to Huntington's disease; migraine medicine Ajovy ($244 million, +56%); and Uzedy ($77 million, +43%), a treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The sales uptick prompted Teva to raise its full-year guidance for each product. It now expects combined 2026 revenues of $3.7 billion, representing a 17% year-over-year growth. Specifically, the drugmaker is projecting $2.45-$2.6 billion in full-year sales for Austedo, up from earlier expectations of $2.4-$2.55 billion; $850-$870 million in sales for Ajovy, increased from $750-$790 million; and a sales range of $270-$290 million for Uzedy, up from $250-$280 million.CEO Richard Francis said the financial results demonstrate that the three products are "continuing to transform Teva’s portfolio mix and financial profile."The positive growth figures come as Teva has turned to its innovative medicines segment to fuel its "Pivot to Growth" strategy. Last quarter, the company bought Emalex Biosciences and its late-stage Tourette syndrome candidate ecopipam for $700 million upfront; Teva has since submitted a marketing application with the FDA.Internally, Teva is also advancing duvakitug, an anti-TL1A mAb with positive data in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, as well as TEV-'408, an IL-15–targeting mAb for vitiligo (see – KOL Views Q&A: Teva, Sanofi's anti-TL1A will compete in IBD but Spyre eyeing bigger prize and KOL Views Q&A: Anti-IL-15 therapies from Forte, Teva have game-changing potential in vitiligo).For its total 2026 revenue projection, Teva raised its outlook to $16.5-$16.85 billion, slightly above prior expectations of $16.4-$16.8 billion.
