Pfizer stock rises after Medicare flags Xeljanz for 2028 price talks — what investors watch next

Pfizer stock rises after Medicare flags Xeljanz for 2028 price talks — what investors watch next

Pfizer’s stock jumped 2.3% to $26.50 in after-hours trading Tuesday. The boost follows the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services picking Pfizer’s arthritis drug Xeljanz for its upcoming Medicare drug price negotiations. Alongside Xeljanz, CMS included Gilead’s Biktarvy, AbbVie’s Botox, and Eli Lilly’s Trulicity. The agency said the 15 drugs chosen serve about 1.8 million Medicare patients and represent roughly $27 billion in Medicare drug spending.

Eli Lilly stock price falls over 2% as Medicare puts Trulicity on 2028 price-talk list

Eli Lilly and Company shares ended Tuesday down $24.22, or roughly 2.3%, at $1,039.51. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up about 0.3% to $1,042.50. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced it selected Lilly’s Trulicity, a type 2 diabetes drug, along with 14 other medicines for 2028 price negotiations. This marks the first time the list includes some therapies covered under Medicare Part B. Last year, the agency projected that negotiated prices for the 15 drugs chosen for 2027 would cut annual spending by 36%, roughly $8.5 billion, compared to recent costs.
