GSK's Vaccine Weakness Is a Major Concern -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-30

0822 GMT - GSK's vaccine weakness is the major concern among its 3Q results and could threaten the company's mid-term sales outlook, Intron Health analysts say in a note. The British Pharma giant confirmed its 2024 outlook, including its overall sales forecast. However, it cut annual vaccine sales guidance to low-single digits, from its prior low to mid-single digit range. The vaccine sales target cut follows a 21% miss by its respiratory syncytial virus vaccine Arexvy and a 13% miss by its best-selling shingles vaccine Shingrix, analysts say. "Our biggest concern is the impact on mid-term sales growth from the weakening vaccines outlook and cost increases ahead of new launches next year," they say. Shares are down 2.1% at 14.22 pounds.
