OncologyThin moat

Gilead Sciences (GILD) — moat facet

Gilead's oncology line sold $3.2 billion in 2025 after Kite and Immunomedics cost over $31 billion, and fell for the first time.

Oncology is Gilead's attempt at a second franchise, and so far it has been expensive. Product sales were $3,236 million in 20251, about 11% of revenue2, and $873 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 3%3.

Gilead Oncology sales ($bn)0.4620190.6620201.2520212.1420222.9320233.2920243.242025Gilead Forms 10-K FY2021, FY2023, FY2025; cell therapy plus Trodelvy
Seven times larger than in 2019, and flat last year.

The line has two parts. Cell therapy, from the Kite acquisition, is Yescarta and Tecartus, which sold $1,495 million and $344 million in 20254. Trodelvy, from Immunomedics, is an antibody drug conjugate for breast cancer, and sold $1,397 million5.

The history is all acquisition. Kite cost $11,155 million in 20176; Immunomedics $20.6 billion in 20207. The line grew from $456 million in 2019, all cell therapy8, to $1,251 million in 2021 and $2,932 million in 20239, then $3,289 million in 202410. In 2025 it fell for the first time, by about 2%11.

How it is paid differs. Cell therapies are one-time treatments made for each patient and administered in specialist centres, so revenue depends on how many patients are treated each quarter. Trodelvy is given in cycles until the disease progresses.

The line's profitability is poor once the purchase prices are counted. About $8.65 billion of Immunomedics IPR&D has been impaired12, and the remaining IPR&D for lung cancer was written off in 202613. Gilead does not report oncology profit.

Growth has split. Trodelvy grew 26% in the second quarter after its first-line breast cancer approval14. Cell therapy fell 14%15, with Gilead citing "in- and out-of-class competition" for Yescarta16.

Both cell therapies are shrinking. Yescarta sold $1,570 million in 2024 and $1,495 million in 202517; Tecartus $403 million and $344 million18. In the second quarter of 2026 Yescarta fell 12% and Tecartus 24%19. Tecartus's US primary patent runs only to 202720, so the smaller of the two has little protected life left.

The outlook rests on two launches: Trodelvy in first-line breast cancer and anito-cel, from the Arcellx acquisition, in multiple myeloma, with an FDA decision due on 23 December 202621. If oncology sales are not above $4.5 billion by 2028, the line will remain a small return on the more than $30 billion Gilead paid to build it22.

Moat trajectory: Holding steady

Trodelvy +26% and cell therapy -14% in Q2 2026.

Oncology product sales, latest quarter
$873M (Q2 2026, +3% from $849M)

Whether the second franchise grows; below $4.5bn a year by 2028 would leave the acquisitions unpaid.
