SCCM Value Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Our stock selection within the Health Care sector detracted from relative performance. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) (-1.3%) reported results that beat expectations across both its Growth and Legacy portfolios but lowered EPS guidance due to one-time R&D charges and persistent loss-of-exclusivity pressures. Management is focused on stabilizing near-term performance through portfolio realignment, cost discipline, and pipeline advancement. Growth products such as Opdivo, Reblozyl, and Camzyos continue to gain traction, and an expanding late-stage pipeline in oncology and immunology supports a path to re-accelerating earnings as major patent expiries subside later in the decade.”
