  • AbbVie's Humira Launch on TrumpRx with 86% Discount Sparks Valuation Questions
    April 9, 2026, 9:02 AM EDT. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) has introduced Humira on the TrumpRx platform at an 86% discount under a White House pricing deal aiming to reduce patient costs and widen drug access.

The stock trades near $206.69, about 20% below analyst targets and 43.8% under fair value estimates.
