Gilead antiviral drug sales miss mark


SAN FRANCISCO: Gilead Sciences Inc shares fell as first-quarter sales of its antiviral treatments for hepatitis C and HIV failed to meet analysts’ expectations.

Truvada, a treatment for HIV, was the biggest disappointment, while Epclusa and Sovaldi for viral liver disease also fell short of analysts’ projections. Gilead fell 2.4% to $66.92 at 6.37pm in New York after US markets closed.
