Teva: A $576 Million Net Loss - and the Stock Jumped 11.5%. The Three Brands Crossed $1 Billion for the First Time

Results published 29 July 2026. Teva booked an accounting net loss of $576 million and a loss of $0.49 per share - and the stock jumped roughly 11.5%. The reason: the entire loss stems from a one-off $724 million write-off on the Emalex Biosciences acquisition, and beneath it the company's three innovative brands - AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY - together crossed $1 billion in a quarter for the first time, up 43%. The full breakdown, including the side that keeps eroding.

These results were published on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, before the US open. We cover them here to complete the picture of the Israeli earnings season.

Teva booked a net loss of $576 million - and the stock jumped roughly 11.5% to $35.32.

That gap is the whole story.

Why the market ignored the loss

The entire loss comes from one line: a $724 million acquired research and development write-off, following the acquisition of Emalex Biosciences in a deal of roughly $700 million.

What an acquired IPR&D write-off is

When a pharmaceutical company buys another whose principal asset is a molecule in development, accounting rules require the full amount to be written off immediately - because there is no certainty the development reaches market.

So Teva booked a $724 million loss on the decision to buy something. That is not a deterioration in the business, and not cash lost beyond the deal price - it is how accounting presents an acquisition of this kind.

And this is exactly the pattern that has followed us all earnings season, in the opposite direction from Amazon: there a one-off revaluation inflated the headline upward, here a one-off write-off compresses it downward.

The figure the market did buy

Teva's three innovative brands together crossed $1 billion in a quarter - for the first time in history.

AJOVY244157+56%
UZEDY7754+43%

That is roughly 25% of group revenue - and it is revenue at far higher margin than generics.

And inside the detail sits the sharpest figure: AJOVY in the United States jumped 83% to $116 million. AUSTEDO in the US rose 37% to $676 million.

This is the metric that validates or breaks the company's "Pivot to Growth" strategy - the shift from generics to originator drugs - and this quarter it validated it.

And the side that keeps eroding

Generics fell 15% in local currency.

United States660-31%
Europe1,024-2%
International Markets419+2%

In millions of dollars

The 31% US collapse comes from one factor: rising competition in lenalidomide - the generic version of Revlimid, which for years was a central profit engine for Teva.

And management said so explicitly on the call: "If you exclude generic Revlimid, our generic business remains stable."

International Markets is the only growing geography - and also the smallest of the three.

And Teva raised guidance for all three innovative brands - a sign management itself sees the transition running ahead of expectation.

My Angle

A personal opinion of Ilan Abramov - not advice, not a recommendation

This is a report almost impossible to read correctly from the headline.

A $576 million loss, negative EPS, EBITDA cut 62% - and an 11.5% jump in the stock. Anyone seeing only those numbers thinks the market lost its mind.

It did not. It simply looked below the line. A $724 million write-off on an acquisition is an accounting charge on a decision, not on performance, and the market knows the difference.

And what it did buy is the other number: the three brands crossed a billion in a quarter and grew 43%. This is the first time Teva's pivot strategy is represented by a figure you can point at.

And what I file under questions: US generics fell 31%. Management says that excluding Revlimid the business is stable, which is probably true - but Revlimid is not coming back. The question is whether the innovative brands grow fast enough to cover an erosion that will continue.
