SEC filings

Stake 178,737 reported shares ≈ 0.0% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 4/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction No open-market buys or sales in the last year 5/15
Discipline No late Form 4s in 23 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 31, 2026 Michael's argument was that AbbVie no longer needs the Humira era to be over before the next decade is funded: a quarter that beat its own midpoint by $0.06 on adjusted EPS and grew revenue 10.2%, with Skyrizi, Rinvoq and the whole neuroscience portfolio each above 20%, is what pays for a $10.9bn purchase of Apogee Therapeutics whose assets he framed squarely at "AbbVie's performance in the 20 thirties and beyond". He absorbed the deal's $0.14 of 2026 dilution into guidance rather than carving it out, said the balance sheet still has room for more business development, and on the one question that governs the whole thesis — how long Skyrizi is protected — he put the composition-of-matter expiry at 2033, later US patents into the mid-2030s, and regulatory data protection running to 2031, so no biosimilar filings before the end of this decade.
