Q2'26PendingNext-generation pipeline (blockbuster portfolio) 'expect to begin delivering significant value for the end of '27 and into '28'
Multi-year timeline not yet due; no update this quarter beyond reiterating '12 potential blockbusters'.
Q2'26MissedLibrela 'has stabilized in the U.S. with roughly flat growth'
This quarter's Canine OA pain mAbs fell $34 million, down 24%, directly reversing the stabilization claim from last quarter.
Q2'26PendingAggregate full-year price contribution of 1% to 2%
Management now frames the range as potentially 0% to -2% at the low end of guidance, a revision down but period (fiscal year) has not ended.
Q2'26PendingFull-year 2026 revenue growth of 2% to 5% and adjusted net income growth of 2% to 6%
Fiscal year not yet ended; guidance was cut sharply this quarter to a 3% to 1% revenue decline and 9% to 5% ANI decline, a material downward revision rather than a resolved miss.
