Gilead’s $7.8B Arcellx Deal Marks Strategic Shift in CAR T-Cell Therapy Race
Gilead Sciences (GILD) completed its $7.8 billion acquisition of Arcellx on April 28, gaining full control of anito-cel, a promising CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma. The deal retests an 11-year technical base at $123.47, with analysts projecting 35% upside to $173 by year-end.
The stock now trades near $128 — down 8% this month but up 22% YoY — with RSI hitting 27, its most oversold level in a year. Nearby 200-day SMA support suggests potential stabilization.
While the acquisition will reduce 2026 EPS by $5.57-$5.67, Gilead eliminates future profit-sharing obligations and gains full commercialization control. The strategic move positions the company to accelerate development ahead of potential FDA approval.
