GLP-1 elastomer products contributed 8% of total revenue and high-value product components grew by 11.3%. KeyBanc reaffirmed its Overweight rating on West due to its near-total participation in injectable GLP-1 capacity expansion projects (Investing.com).
Contract-manufacturing segment grew just 3.0% year-over-year to $146.7 million in Q2 2025, highlighting slower growth outside the company’s higher-margin proprietary products segment (Investing.com).
In Q1 2025, organic net sales increased only 2.1% while adjusted diluted EPS declined to $1.45 from $1.56 a year earlier, emphasizing uneven demand momentum and margin pressure resulting from restructuring and lower-value product mix (Investing.com).
