Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year 2025 product sales excluding Veklury of $28.0 billion were more than $300 million above the high end of full-year guidance.
  • HIV sales grew 6% to $20.8 billion in 2025, with Biktarvy up 7% to $14.3 billion and HIV prevention up 47%, including Descovy up 31% to $2.8 billion.
  • HIV grew 10% in 2025 excluding an estimated $900 million Medicare Part D redesign headwind.
  • Yeztugo achieved 90% payer coverage well ahead of its one-year target and delivered $96 million in Q4 and $150 million in full-year 2025 sales.
  • Liver business grew 6% in 2025, driven by rapid adoption of Livdelzi for primary biliary cholangitis.
  • Targeting four commercial launches in 2026 (Trodelvy in 1L metastatic TNBC, Viclen oral HIV combo, Anitocabtagene autoleucel CAR-T, and buleviratide in the US) with no major product LOEs until 2036.

Risks & pressure points

  • Cell therapy sales were down about 7% year over year in 2025 due to continuing competitive headwinds.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS declined to $1.86 in Q4 2025 from $1.90 in Q4 2024, driven by higher acquired IPR&D expenses and an IPR&D impairment charge related to the MYR GmbH acquisition.
  • Total product sales growth was held to just 1% in 2025 by the estimated $900 million Medicare Part D redesign headwind.
  • Gilead paid $1.0 billion in dividends and repurchased only $230 million of stock in Q4 2025, a relatively modest buyback.
  • Analyst question flagged that the 2026 Yeztugo guidance of $800 million appears to imply essentially flat new patient starts versus current run-rate.

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“With many of the policy-related uncertainties behind us, and no major product LOEs until 2036, Gilead Sciences, Inc. is entering 2026 in a position of strength.” Daniel O'Day, Chairman
“Given our expectations for a steady, durable, and long-term build in sales, we expect full-year 2026 YES2GO revenue of approximately $800 million compared to $150 million in 2025, highlighting that YES2GO is well on its way to achieving blockbuster status.” Speaker 3, Other
