Reports Nov 4, 2026.
Consensus is $0.70 EPS for Sep 2026 across 3 estimates, ranging $0.65 to $0.73.
Teva’s second quarter was a transition quarter in which fast-growing innovative brands continued to improve the portfolio mix, but a large pipeline acquisition and ongoing generics erosion overwhelmed reported earnings. Revenue of $4.142 billion was 1% below the year-ago $4.176 billion but 4% above Q1’s $3.98 billion. The company’s reported EPS was $0.00 versus a $0.05 consensus estimate; GAAP diluted EPS was a $0.49 loss, compared with $0.24 of income a year ago and $0.31 in Q1. Net loss was $576 million, versus net income of $282 million a year ago and $369 million in Q1.
The central operational positive was the growth portfolio: AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY together exceeded $1 billion of revenue and grew 43% in local currency, supporting higher full-year brand targets. That progress was offset by a 15% local-currency decline in generics, led by lenalidomide competition in the U.S. The Emalex acquisition added $724 million of acquired IPR&D expense, while $230 million of legal provisions and $121 million of tax expense further depressed GAAP results. Even excluding these items, non-GAAP EPS was only $0.02 and operating margin was 9.0%, down sharply from 27.1% a year ago. Teva maintained its full-year revenue, earnings and free-cash-flow outlook while raising brand forecasts.
Teva’s growth strategy was most visible in the three key innovative brands, which together generated more than $1 billion of quarterly revenue and grew 43% year over year in local currency. The mix shift also lifted gross margin to 52.0% from 50.3% a year ago.
The quarter’s earnings distortion came primarily from Teva’s acquisition of Emalex Biosciences and its ecopipam asset for approximately $700 million. Because the deal was accounted for as an asset acquisition, Teva expensed the acquired IPR&D immediately rather than recording goodwill.
Generics remained the main drag on revenue, particularly in the United States. Global generics revenue fell 15% in local currency, principally because additional generic competitors reduced lenalidomide revenue. Teva is using biosimilars to rebuild this part of the portfolio, but that momentum has not yet offset the erosion.
Cash generation was stronger than the earnings result suggests, although free cash flow includes $311 million of beneficial interest collected through the European securitized receivables program. Teva also spent $696 million in cash to acquire Emalex.
Teva maintained its overall 2026 financial outlook despite raising the innovative-brand targets. The company continues to position cost savings and portfolio modernization as the bridge from near-term investment to its longer-term profitability objective.
