MW GSK reiterates guidance as HIV and cancer drug demand offset vaccine weakness
U.K. drugmaker GSK (UK:GSK) reiterated its 2024 guidance though it said there was lower than anticipated vaccine demand in the third quarter. GSK said its third-quarter core earnings per share fell 1% to 49.7 pence as revenue fell 2% to GBP8.01 billion. Vaccine sales fell 15% while specialty medicine sales rose 19%. At constant exchange rates it's still expecting revenue growth of 7% to 9%, core operating profit growth of 11% to 13% and core EPS growth of 10% to 12%.
