Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) experienced significant positive movements in its stock price between late August and early December 2025, driven by a series of favorable corporate and pipeline developments. **1. Strong Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results.** Bristol-Myers Squibb reported robust third-quarter 2025 earnings on October 30, 2025, surpassing analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company's revenues increased by 3% year-over-year to $12.2 billion, and non-GAAP EPS reached $1.63, exceeding consensus estimates. This strong performance was further bolstered by the company's decision to raise its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $47.5 billion to $48.0 billion, indicating confidence in its growth portfolio. The earnings beat led to positive pre-market trading, with the stock initially rising by approximately 1.7% to 4.3%.

**2. FDA Approval of Breyanzi for Marginal Zone Lymphoma.** On December 4, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Bristol-Myers Squibb's CAR T cell therapy, Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel), for the treatment of relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) in adults who have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. This marks Breyanzi as the first and only CAR T cell therapy approved for this specific patient population, expanding its indications to five cancer types, the most for any CD19-directed CAR T cell therapy. The application had previously received priority review from the FDA in August 2025.

**3. Continuation of ADEPT-2 Phase 3 Study.** On December 3, 2025, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced the continuation of its Phase 3 ADEPT-2 study, evaluating Cobenfy for psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease. Despite identifying "irregularities due to clinical trial execution" at a small number of study sites, the company decided to exclude the affected data and, following consultation with the FDA and a data monitoring committee, will enroll additional patients. This decision was viewed as an "incremental positive" by analysts, mitigating concerns about the trial's potential failure and leading to a stock increase of between 1.5% and 5.62% on the news.

**4. Promising Hematology Pipeline Data at ASH 2025.** Bristol-Myers Squibb showcased the potential of its hematology pipeline at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting around December 1-2, 2025. The company presented more than 95 data disclosures, including 27 oral presentations, highlighting significant advancements in its next-generation hematology portfolio. The presentations featured data from targeted protein degradation and cell therapy research platforms across key disease areas such as multiple myeloma and lymphomas, reinforcing the strength and innovation of its drug development pipeline.

**5. Expansion of Cell Therapy Manufacturing Capabilities.** Bristol-Myers Squibb received U.S. FDA approval for commercial production at its new state-of-the-art cell therapy manufacturing facility in Devens, Massachusetts. This expansion is a critical component of the company's strategy to increase its global cell therapy manufacturing footprint, ensuring long-term supply for its growing cell therapy portfolio. The new facility integrates advanced technology and aims to enhance product capacity to meet patient needs for complex autologous cell therapies.
