AbbVie reaffirmed its 2026 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range of $13.87 to $14.07. The full-year guidance includes a $0.14 per-share dilution from the completed Apogee acquisition and a $0.58 per-share unfavorable impact from acquired in-process research and development and milestones expense incurred through the second quarter. AbbVie also reaffirmed third-quarter 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $3.84 to $3.88. The third-quarter guidance excludes acquired IPR&D and milestone impacts incurred during the quarter because they cannot be reliably forecast.
