(NYSE:ABBV) to $273 from $265. It reiterated a Buy rating on the shares. The firm updated its model following AbbVie's announced acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics (APGE).

The firm also noted that the deal could create pressure on Regeneron by increasing competition in the space. AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) is a global, diversified, research-based biopharmaceutical company.
