STELARA biosimilar competition remained a major drag on pharmaceutical growth
Management said the decline in STELARA reduced worldwide operational sales growth by approximately 4.6 percentage points in Q2 FY2026. STELARA sales fell 55.2% year over year to $740M, while the broader Immunology therapeutic area declined 3.7% to $3.8B; management expects STELARA biosimilars to continue negatively affecting sales.
Oncology and newer neuroscience products offset legacy-product pressure
