Once the hep C titan, Gilead is now fortifying its still dominant HIV business with a round of list price hikes it took over the weekend under new chief Daniel O’Day, as the drugmaker looks to stem more than two years of shrinking sales revenue.
The biotech has hiked prices on its big ticket products — including its arsenal of HIV drugs, but excluding its HCV franchise and CAR-T therapy Yescarta — by 4.9%, which is in line historically with its practice of raising prices annually in the first quarter, according to Cowen’s Phil Nadeau.
