Bristol Myers Gains Analyst Support as 2026 Catalysts Offset Patent-Cliff Worries

Fresh price-target hikes follow positive Camzyos data in adolescents.

Overview

  • UBS on January 7 upgraded Bristol Myers to Buy and lifted its price target to $65, citing a skewed risk/reward and three to four potential triggers that could lift the stock in the second half of 2026.
  • Leerink on January 13 raised its price target to $60 with an Outperform rating, pointing to 12 registration readouts across eight assets in 2026 that the market largely discounts.
  • Scotiabank on January 9 increased its price target to $60 and highlighted investor interest driven by low valuation and a catalyst-rich year ahead.
  • Bristol Myers reported positive Phase 3 SCOUT-HCM topline results for Camzyos in adolescents with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, meeting the primary and multiple secondary endpoints with safety comparable to adults.
  • Analysts continue to flag steep loss-of-exclusivity risk through 2028, with UBS estimating $20–30 billion in potential revenue impact even as the current share price is seen as reflecting much of that pressure.
