Sanofi 1Q Exceeds Expectations, Beyfortus Drug Launch in Focus -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-25

1316 GMT - Sanofi's 1Q beat sales and profit expectations thanks to the performance of anti-inflammatory drug Dupixent and the better-than-expected launch of lung disease treatment Beyfortus, Jefferies analyst Peter Welford says in a note. The French pharma giant's vaccines were shy of consensus despite being boosted by its Beyfortus beat, he says. Sanofi saw a lower gross margin which was more than offset by a higher-than-expected business operating income and EPS, Jefferies says. Jefferies expected Sanofi to confirm its 2024 guidance and says it is less pessimistic than the market regarding a potential rebound in its gross margin in 2025. Shares rise 2.1% to EUR89.67.
