Big Pharma Left Uncertain About U.S. Tariff Risk -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-03

0841 GMT - Uncertainty remains across the pharmaceutical industry until there is better visibility around the potential impact of U.S. tariffs, Shore Capital analyst Sean Conroy says in a note. U.S. President Trump announced across-the-board 10% tariffs on Wednesday on all imports and a 20% tariff on EU goods which, for now, exempts pharmaceuticals. GSK confirmed that there would be no changes to its outlook, whereas AstraZeneca said it will assess the implications of Trump's tariff announcement and Roche said it would consider additional U.S. investments. Shore Capital anticipates that stock prices might remain weak until companies can quantify the potential impact of tariffs on earnings and revenue, Conroy says. GSK's shares are up 1.5%, while AstraZeneca's are up 1.6% and Roche's are down 2.1%. (helena.smolak@wsj.com)
