Dow Jones11-21 18:55

1055 GMT - Novartis's upbeat sales expectations for its key drugs show that all its pipeline catalysts are on track with cancer drugs in focus, Barclays analysts say in a note. The Swiss pharma giant's raised sales estimates are incremental and in line with Barclays expectations, the analysts say. Investors will look for the approval of its prostate cancer drug Pluvicto in patients that haven't received chemotherapy and the launch of its leukemia treatment Scemblix as a first-line treatment, Barclays say. The company's new sales growth guidance at 5% through 2029 implies upgrades, they say. Shares fall 0.1% to 90.90 Swiss francs. (helena.smolak@wsj.com)
