0848 GMT - Sanofi's increased investment in research and development hasn't helped it avoid significant setbacks over the past two years, Baader Europe analyst Abhishek Raval writes. Recent ones include the underwhelming performance of the immunology treatment amlitelimab, which raised concerns over the French pharma group's growth after its Dupixent drug loses patent exclusivity in the early 2030s, Raval says. This and other trial disappointments lead Baader to lower its growth estimate for coming years to 1.5% from 2%. A flurry of merger activity might be how Sanofi is compensating for pipeline weakness and could cause concern over whether it can cut its overdependence on external innovation, Raval adds. Shares fall 0.2% to 82.81 euros and have fallen 12% year to date. (william.gray@wsj.com)
