1505 GMT - Alcon's pipeline of products in the late stage of development is the most solid since its spinoff from Swiss pharma giant Novartis, and is set to drive revenue growth next year, Needham analysts say. The Swiss-American medical device company has eight planned product launches in 2025, the analyst write in a note. Among them, contact lenses PanOptix Pro and Precision 7 will be watched keenly by investors, they say. Alcon's current valuation, significantly below historical averages, presents an attractive entry point. Commercial investment risks and foreign currency headwinds are already factored in, they add. Alcon shares rise 0.34% to 75.86 Swiss francs. (helena.smolak@wsj.com)
