Bristol Myers Squibb awaits FDA decision on KarXT, a novel schizophrenia treatment potentially representing the first new approach in decades. KarXT, acquired via $14 billion deal with Karuna Therapeutics, targets M1 and M4 muscarinic receptors, offering efficacy without antipsychotic side effects. Other companies, including Neurocrine Biosciences, AbbVie, Reviva Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Alto Neuroscience, are also developing schizophrenia treatments, focusing on various mechanisms to address positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms.

AbbVie, a pharmaceutical firm with strong immunology and oncology portfolios, is compared against key competitors in the Biotechnology industry. The analysis reveals AbbVie's high Price to Earnings (64.53), Price to Book (50.28), and Price to Sales (6.22) ratios, suggesting a potentially overvalued stock. However, its high Return on Equity (18.4%), EBITDA ($5.0B), and gross profit ($10.26B) indicate strong profitability and operational efficiency. The company's low revenue growth (4.31%) compared to the industry average (28.79%) raises concerns about future performance.
