⚠ Descovy Users Must Move Before 2031Moderate threat

Gilead Sciences (GILD) — threat to the moat

Most of Gilead's PrEP revenue is Descovy, which loses US patent protection in 2031; Yeztugo must take over first.

Most of Gilead's prevention revenue still comes from a daily pill whose US primary patent expires in 2031, and in Europe in 20271. Descovy sold $2,758 million in 20252. When it goes generic, a daily PrEP pill will become cheap, and insurers will prefer cheap.

Descovy sales ($M)1,50020191,86120201,70020211,87220221,98520232,11320242,7582025Gilead Forms 10-K FY2021, FY2023, FY2025; US primary patent 2031
The faster Descovy grows, the more revenue meets 2031.

Gilead's answer is to move users to Yeztugo, whose patents run to 20373. That requires persuading healthy people to switch from a pill to an injection, and insurers to pay for the more expensive product while a cheaper one is available. Yeztugo's $232 million quarter is a start4, but Descovy still sold four times as much in the same quarter56.

There is also a pricing question. Gilead agreed in December 2025 to offer most-favoured-nation prices in the US market for future launched products7. Yeztugo launched before that agreement, but any later prevention product, such as a once-weekly oral form, falls under it.

Descovy's growth makes the task larger each year. It sold $2,113 million in 2024 and $2,758 million in 20258, and $1,774 million in the first half of 2026 alone9. Every new Descovy user is a future switch, and the faster Descovy grows, the more of the prevention business will be standing on the 2031 date.

The number to keep in view is the ratio of Descovy to Yeztugo sales: about 4.2 to 1 in the second quarter of 202610. If it is still above 2 to 1 at the end of 2029, too much of the prevention business will meet the 2031 expiry unprotected.
