Abivax stock drops today as ABVX traders trim Eli Lilly takeover bets into year-end
NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:19 ET — Regular session Abivax Société Anonyme’s U.S.-listed American depositary shares (ABVX) fell about 3.8% to $133.04, down roughly $5.30 from Tuesday’s close, in late morning trade on Wednesday. The shares opened at $138 and swung between $132.13 and $140.25, with about 348,000 shares traded. The pullback keeps the spotlight on ABVX after takeover chatter earlier this month. Reuters reported on Dec. 10 that Abivax jumped on market rumours that Eli Lilly could make an offer, and Stifel analyst Damien Choplain said the “share price movement is driven by speculation around a possible takeover.”
