Tracing its origins back to the Squibb corporation founding in 1858, Bristol Myers Squibb makes several blockbuster drugs. Its bestselling drugs include the cancer immunotherapy Opdivo (2020 sales of $7 billion), the rheumatoid arthritis treatment Orencia ($3.2 billion) and the chemotherapy Sprycel ($2.1 billion). Its bestselling drug chemotherapy drug Revlimid, however, was acquired through its 2019 acquisition of Celgene for $74 billion. Revlimid sales hit $12 billion last year. The company's appetite for substantial acquisitions continued into 2020. In October, it announced its intent to purchase the biopharma MyoKardia for roughly $13.1 billion in cash. —BB
