Pricing factors into the equation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which oversees Medicare, recently listed Botox among 15 drugs slated for upcoming price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act. This process aims to lower what Medicare pays for certain medicines. “We continue to expect that the impacts will be manageable,” said Evan Seigerman of BMO Capital Markets. Reuters
Allergan Aesthetics, part of AbbVie, announced it will share new facial injectable data at the IMCAS World Congress from Jan. 29–31. This includes pooled Phase 3 results for trenibotulinumtoxinE, a next-gen neurotoxin currently under regulatory review. “Allergan Aesthetics is driving the future of aesthetic medicine,” said John Maltman, vice president of global aesthetics medical affairs.

The week ahead could swing either way. If guidance disappoints or investors rethink the drug-pricing outlook for Botox, the stock could lose momentum fast.
Looking ahead, the market’s focus is clear: AbbVie’s Feb. 4 earnings report, along with the initial outlook for 2026. Expect detailed sales trends by product to take center stage during the update.
