The Apogee case, 20 quarters out

Model as of

Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.

AbbVie operates as ONE reportable segment. The six verticals here are the revenue disaggregation AbbVie itself publishes - Immunology, Neuroscience, Oncology, Aesthetics, Other key products and the All other residual - and nothing finer is modelled, because nothing finer is disclosed. Five portfolio totals come from each quarter's own 8-K Exhibit 99.1 Key Product Revenues table; All other is the residual of consolidated revenue less those five, marked estimated on every point, and it reproduces the 10-Q All other line exactly at $1,109M for the basis quarter. The six verticals sum to the reported $16,990M of 2026 Q2 net revenues with no plug. No per-portfolio margin exists in any filing, so all six carry the same assumed 49.5% EBITDA margin - consolidated adjusted operating margin of 48.3% plus about 1.2 points of depreciation - and the 1.3% corporate overhead is the bridge from that basis-quarter print to the guided FY2026 adjusted operating margin approaching 47% of sales. Tax is the 14.5% adjusted rate the CFO forecast for the full year, applied unlevered: interest expense is not deducted from cash flow, because the $64.3B of net debt is deducted from enterprise value instead. Eye care disappeared from the disclosed tables in 2026 Q1 and was reclassified into All other with prior periods restated; that is a presentation change, not a divestiture. The Apogee acquisition announced 31 July 2026 is not in the base case at all - it had not closed at the basis quarter - and appears only as a named scenario.

AbbVie buys the next immunology wave rather than growing it. Zumilokibart in atopic dermatitis and APG273 in asthma would add a second immunology engine beyond Skyrizi and Rinvoq. Modelled as a 6% step up in immunology revenue from 2029 Q3, three years after the announced close, which adds $3.09B to terminal-year revenue. What this case does NOT do: the $10.9 billion of equity value is not deducted from net cash and the $0.14 of 2026 EPS dilution is not in the path, so it is the revenue upside gross of what it costs.

Valuation

From cash flow to fair value

The published model, discounted at 8.0% a year with an exit multiple of 16.0x on EBITDA. The horizon and sliders above do not change this walk.

Against the deployed price of $265.21, as of +15%

Exit is taken on EBITDA at 16.0x, marginally below the 16.4x the market pays today on an enterprise value of $531.7B against about $32.4B of FY2026 adjusted EBITDA, so the base case re-rates nothing. The 7.9x revenue figure is the same enterprise value against the guided $67.6B and is carried only as a cross-check. The 8% discount rate is an assumed large-cap investment-grade pharma cost of capital; AbbVie discloses none.

Read the other way round: at $265.21 the market is paying 13.7x terminal-year EBITDA, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.
