what happened

According to Stocktwits, healthcare stocks held up far better than the major benchmarks during last week's selloff. Three groups of shares slipped 0.04%, fell 1.8% and lost 2.4%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) dropped 2.7% and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) fell nearly 5%.

Company reports dominate this week. Hims & Hers reports after Monday's close, and investors will watch its new deal with Eli Lilly that gives patients access to Zepbound and the Foundayo pill. TG Therapeutics also reports on Monday, while Scholar Rock and Liquidia report on Tuesday. Teva holds its R&D Day on Wednesday, and Ascendis and Arrowhead report on Thursday.

Summit Therapeutics faces a closely watched FDA target date on Saturday, November 14, for ivonescimab plus chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer.

why it matters

For markets, the point is that healthcare has held up better than tech-heavy indexes, so investors are temporarily favoring defensive names. Earnings and regulatory decisions tend to move individual biotech stocks more than the broader indexes.
