What the Analysts think about HIK
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Hikma Pharmaceuticals stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Hikma is racing to launch generic versions of Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy once patents begin expiring from 2026, targeting a global weight-loss drug market valued at $80–140 billion and poised for high demand for lower-cost generics (FT.com).
Hikma’s injectables segment has treated over 800,000 patients with its technology converting IV medications into subcutaneous injections, underscoring strong partnership momentum and bolstering its injectables pipeline across oncology and autoimmune therapies (Bloomberg).
FT notes Hikma is the second-largest drugmaker by sales in the Middle East and North Africa, providing a stable revenue base and significant growth prospects in emerging markets where it faces limited competition (FT.com).
Hikma agreed to pay $50 million to settle a class action alleging it colluded to delay its generic Xyrem approval for the narcolepsy drug Xyrem, highlighting material litigation risk and potential further liabilities (Reuters).
The FDA’s declaration that the national shortage of branded Ozempic and Wegovy is over removes a key catalyst for generic copycats like Hikma, potentially slowing initial uptake of its planned semaglutide generics (Bloomberg).
The U.S. government’s new most-favored-nation drug pricing policy threatens to cap prices for branded drugs without generic competition, which could compress margins in Hikma’s Branded segment in key markets (Reuters).
