What is Gilead's updated guidance regarding its HIV pipeline progress in 2026?
Gilead’s updated 2026 outlook (in the context of HIV pipeline execution and regulatory/clinical milestones) can be summarized as follows:
How this relates to “pipeline progress in 2026”: the updated guidance is anchored in the continued rollout/scale-up of newer HIV prevention products already in-market (notably Yes2Go), which are part of Gilead’s broader “pipeline” execution story. 312
Gilead also reiterated several HIV pipeline events expected during 2026, which represent the “progress” component of the guidance:
How this relates to “pipeline progress in 2026”: the company is effectively using 2026 to (i) drive commercial ramp in prevention (Yes2Go) while also (ii) advancing late-stage readouts and regulatory decisions (Biclen FDA decision; ILLAND-1/2 Phase 3 updates). 3125
In its updated 2026 guidance, Gilead ties HIV pipeline execution to higher 2026 HIV sales growth (~8% vs ~6% previously) and raising 2026 Yes2Go guidance to ~$1.0 billion based on strong early prevention performance. 12 Concurrently, Gilead expects major HIV pipeline milestones in 2026, specifically an FDA decision on Biclen in August and Phase 3 updates for ILLAND-1 and ILLAND-2 later in the quarter. 35

Gilead states that lowering HIV concentration remains an intentional long-term goal, with nothing changed in that priority. In the near term, management emphasizes execution and portfolio performance, highlighting diversification within HIV (treatment and PrEP) and expansion into oncology and inflammation, supported by strong growth, margin discipline, and free cash flow. Milestones include anticipated BIC/LEN decision timing, potential ISL/LEN launch in 2027, and continued multi-interval PrEP development as durable growth drivers into the next decade.

Moderna did not set a numeric approval threshold or confirm a 2027 pivotal-data timeline for mRNA-4359 in melanoma. For mRNA-2808, management highlighted safety, response occurrence and durability in heavily pretreated myeloma, but did not provide numeric success criteria or describe a plan to study the therapy earlier in the treatment pathway.

Synopsys outlines ongoing Factory 2 licensing-royalties shift and a security IP growth path following the Intrinsic ID acquisition, with Investor Day modeling promised but no quantified ramp or TAM in the excerpts.

Research questionGreat. Maybe just a couple of quick ones on IP actually. Maybe just preempting the Analyst Day. I wondered, Sassine, if you can maybe just give us a little bit of outline on the speed of shift to the Factory 2 opportunity you outlined with licensing and royalties. And then secondly, it's been about a year, I think, since we've seen the Intrinsic ID acquisition. And I think at the time, you talked about security IP as being a new vector of growth in IP. Just wanted to hear if you could maybe outline the size of that opportunity, how you've seen engagements go and where in particular you think deployments will happen?

IFF frames Scent's recovery around a rebuilt, stronger R&D pipeline and innovative delivery systems, with Fragrance Ingredients accelerating on higher-value inputs. For H2, Fine Fragrance should see a softer Q3 followed by a stronger Q4, while Consumer Fragrance is expected to grow in the low single digits as R&D and go-to-market efforts support market-share gains—backed by an ongoing 8-9% R&D investment to fuel 2027 growth.
