How has Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 45% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 9% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 49 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Lantheus Holdings, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Lantheus Holdings, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -24.6% and the one-year return is 39.3%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited has the highest Revenue among the 28 Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic companies compared here, at $17,349 million. Viatris Inc. is next at $14,563 million. Liquidia Corporation has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is the scale leader at $17,349 million, 19.1% ahead of Viatris Inc.. Liquidia Corporation's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 1957.1% from a $288 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is the scale benchmark; Liquidia Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited's growth falls below Liquidia Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.
This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 3 of the 28 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $17,349 million, ahead of Viatris Inc. at $14,563 million. That covers 24 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic company is growing fastest?
Liquidia Corporation has the fastest revenue growth at 100% year on year, across 24 of 28 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Liquidia Corporation has the highest operating margin at 46.3%, from 25 of 28 comparable companies. Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6111.6 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Zoetis Inc. earns the most, at $2,643 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 26 of 28 comparable companies. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic company earns the highest return on capital?
Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 34.8%, across 28 of 28 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Alkermes plc screens cheapest at 0.58×. Only 7 of 28 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic company has the strongest balance sheet?
United Therapeutics Corporation carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 26 of 28 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic company is investing most in new capacity?
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited reports the largest capital spending at $168 million, across 28 of 28 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Which Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic stock has the strongest price momentum?
