Novartis's Results Look Impressive -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
2025/07/17

0702 GMT - Novartis reported impressive results, extending a stretch of quarterly updates in which it beat expectations and raised guidance to a tenth quarter, Vontobel's Stefan Schneider says. The Swiss pharmaceutical company reported second-quarter core operating profit of $5.925 billion, up 21% at constant currency. This exceeded both consensus expectations and Vontobel's estimate, the analyst says in a research note. Novartis now expects core operating profit to grow by a low-teens percentage this year, having previously forecast an increase by low double digits. This guidance lift came as a surprise ahead of the anticipated arrival of generic competition for Novartis's heart drug Entresto--the group's best-selling medicine--in the U.S., Schneider says. Novartis shares closed at 95.12 Swiss francs on Wednesday. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
