Novartis's Midterm Guidance Lift Tops Consensus View -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-21 17:46

0946 GMT - Novartis is more optimistic in its 2024-29 sales growth view than consensus, Jefferies analysts say in a note. The Swiss pharma giant extended its annual sales growth target of 5% to 2029, and raised its 2023-28 growth target to 6% from 5%. Novartis's 2029 sales target of around $62 billion-$64 billion would suggest a 8%-12% upgrade to consensus, the analysts say. The company's upgraded peak sales estimates for its key drugs are broadly in line with Jefferies's expectations. Shares rise 0.1% to 91.10 Swiss francs. (helena.smolak@wsj.com)
