Bristol Myers Squibb Company issued ambitious five-year revenue growth projections at the start of 2021, and now with a more mature late-stage pipeline the big pharma is doubling down. Bristol’s prior forecast of $20bn-$25bn in sales from new products by 2029 has increased to more than $25bn, which will go a long way to filling future revenue gaps caused by generic competitors for current blockbusters.
