What Innoviva does

Collects royalties from GSK respiratory drugs and owns infectious-disease drugs including Xacduro for pneumonia.

Receives a share of GSK's sales of its respiratory inhalers with none of the selling costs, since GSK sells the medicines; the rights stem from Innoviva's origin as Theravance, which developed them with GSK. Xacduro, an infection medicine, came with its 2022 purchase of Entasis.

  • Xacduro (infectious disease)

  • Infectious-disease drug ownership

What could go right

  • Continued GSK Trelegy/Ellipta franchise growth
  • Bolt-on royalty or asset purchases

What could go wrong

  • Dependent on GSK's respiratory-franchise performance
  • Infectious-disease assets smaller/riskier

Moat: narrow (IP / patents). Long-dated royalty contracts on GSK blockbuster respiratory drugs provide durable cash flow.

Is Innoviva expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 9.4× against a peer median of 21.4×, 4th cheapest of 11 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -15% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +4%, so the hurdle is -19 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Innoviva stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -16.6% against -21.1% for the median peer; over one year +4.8%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
