Bristol-Myers Squibb Co Reports Earnings for First Quarter of 2018

Earnings per share reported by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co for the first quarter of 2018 was 94 cents. This is up from its earnings per share of 84 cents from the same time last year. It also beat out Wall Street’s earnings per share estimate of 85 cents for the period.

During the first quarter of the year, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co reported net income of $1.50 billion. The pharmaceutical company reported net income of $1.53 billion in the first quarter of 2017.
