1233 GMT - Roche Holding is on track to deliver steady sales growth next year, as all eyes are on the launch of its new breast-cancer drug giredestrant, Berenberg analysts say in a research note. Berenberg expects the Swiss drugmaker's sales to grow 6% at constant exchange rates in 2027. For 2026, the company has guided for sales growth excluding currency movements in the mid-single-digit percentage range. Roche is comfortable with current estimates that put giredestrant's 2027 sales at between 500 million and 600 million Swiss francs, the analysts say, citing a call with the company's CFO Alan Hippe. The main headwinds Roche will face in 2027 are sales erosions for its Actemra and Perjeta drugs due to lower-priced biosimilar versions, Berenberg says. Shares rise 0.2%.
