Deutsche Bank initiated coverage on Abbvie (NYSE: ABBV) with a Hold rating and a price target of $63.00. Analyst Gregg Gilbert noted product concentration risk.

"Despite a relatively inexpensive valuation, an attractive dividend yield, and a strong medium-term growth outlook, we believe it may be tough for the stock to meaningfully outperform in light of significant product concentration risk; Humira represents >60% of revenues and has an uncertain duration of exclusivity. Our Hold rating has a positive bias as we believe Humira is not going away anytime soon, and we like what management is doing to diversify the business with pipeline and deal-making while remaining committed to returning cash to shareholders," said Gilbert.
