High drug prices have been an issue for decades, but research is lacking on the relationship between drug price news and U.S. pharmaceutical companies' financial results. The research problem was whether mass media coverage of drug prices relates to U.S. pharmaceutical industry financial performance and capitalization that may affect decision making, strategy development, and investors and other stakeholders' interests. Grounded in stakeholder theory, agenda-setting theory, and the political economy of communications approach, the purpose of this quantitative descriptive correlational study was to examine the relationship over time between mass media coverage of drug prices and financial performance and capitalization of U.S. pharmaceutical companies. The research questions and hypotheses pertained to these relationships. The purposive sample consisted of 208 occurrences of news about 21 pharmaceutical companies whose drug prices caught media attention. Drug price news was collected from the top five U.S. newspapers, as measured by circulation, from 10/01 to 09/30 between 2014 and 2021. Financial and nonfinancial information was obtained from filed Forms 10-Ks, 10-Qs, NASDAQ stock exchange, and pharmaceutical websites. The results revealed significant bivariate relationships between drug price news and the net margin, return on research capital, return on equity, and market capitalization of U.S. pharmaceutical companies. The strength and direction of these relationships may be affected by drug price news frequency, elapsed time in the news, and intensity of political activity. The results might raise awareness of the role of drug price news in the financial outcome of pharmaceuticals, which may benefit stakeholders' interests and patients' well-being.
