Can fast-growing Eliquis overtake J&J's Xarelto? Bristol's execs think so

And company execs don't expect it to stop there. As CEO Giovanni Caforio put it on last week's Q4 conference call, its recent performance puts the company "well on our way" to passing by a pair of hefty competitors in Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) and Bayer's Xarelto and Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa.
