One area of interest was the outlook for AbbVie’s flagship product, Humira. Humira has been in the news lately due to Amgen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN)’s biosimilar product, but Credit Suisse said it expects AbbVie to file suit against Amgen, likely in the third quarter.

Management believes that once investors are able to appreciate fully the protection AbbVie has around Humira, they’ll be confident that biosimilars won’t enter the U.S. market until around 2022.

Credit Suisse holds an Outperform rating on AbbVie with a $67 price target, representing 14 percent upside from where shares closed Monday.
