What the Analysts think about Sandoz Group AG
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Sandoz Group AG stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Sandoz Group AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter net sales rose 9%, with biosimilar sales up 22% at constant currencies. The strong performance shows Sandoz is converting recent product launches into current growth. (Reuters)
A wave of patent expiries gives Sandoz room to expand its biosimilar business, which it aims to grow to more than 100 products by 2040. The company targets more than doubling sales between 2025 and 2035. (Reuters)
A Henlius partnership gives Sandoz rights outside China to commercialise up to 10 biosimilar candidates. This could broaden its future launch pipeline by drawing on a partner for development and manufacturing. (EQS News)
The US has threatened tariffs of 100% on imported generics from 2028, rising to 200% the following year. Sandoz said it plans to close its only US manufacturing site by the end of 2026, leaving a potential cost and supply risk if the tariffs take effect. (Reuters)
Sandoz now expects overall pricing to fall by a mid-single-digit percentage in 2026, a steeper decline than its earlier forecast. Pressure in Germany and North America could offset some of the benefit from sales growth and a richer biosimilar mix. (Sandoz)
Sandoz agreed to pay $450 million to settle US state claims over alleged generic-drug price-fixing, with payments spread over seven years. Individual plaintiffs who opted out of settlements still have claims outstanding. (Reuters)
