Down 6% In A Day, Will Bristol Myers Squibb Stock Rebound?

Bristol Myers Squibb stock (NYSE: BMY) was down 6% in yesterday’s trade, while it’s down around 10% in a month. The recent fall can be attributed to the AXIOMATIC-SSP study of Milvexian, which failed to achieve the primary endpoint. Although the drug showed a 30% relative risk reduction in recurrent symptomatic ischemic strokes, it failed to induce a dose response. Milvexian is an important drug in the company’s mid-stage pipeline with a multi-billion dollar potential peak sales opportunity. As such, the development did not sit well with the investors, sending BMY’s stock price lower.

BMS is focused on its expanding its pipeline to combat biosimilar competition. Although it sees continued market share gains for Eliquis and Opdivo, the loss of market exclusivity for Revlimid poses a threat to the top-line growth going forward. Revlimid sales were down 22% to $2.5 billion in Q2, a trend expected to continue over the coming quarters. BMS has launched several new drugs over the last year or so, including Abecma, Breyanzi, and Zeposia, to aid its top-line expansion. In the near term, though, the company faces headwinds from the strengthening dollar.

But now that BMY stock has seen a -10% move in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a higher chance of an increase in BMY stock over the next month. BMY stock has seen a move of 10% or more 151 times in the last ten years. Of those, 104 resulted in BMY stock rising over the subsequent one-month period (twenty-one trading days). This historical pattern reflects 104 out of 151, or a 69% chance of a rise in BMY stock over the coming month. See our analysis on Bristol Myers Squibb Stock Chance of Rise for more details.
