Amidst challenges, the company announced new investments worth nearly $1 billion in France, and increased ownership to a commanding 85%. AstraZeneca's continued growth is primarily driven by its strong performance in the oncology sector, with FDA nod for its breast cancer drug being a significant highlight. The company's continued commitment towards dividend growth reassures investors. As AstraZeneca withdraws COVID-19 vaccines due to dwindling demand, it shifts focus towards areas like respiratory vaccines, rare diseases and next-gen cancer therapies. The acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals and respiratory vaccine developer Icosavax signal a strategic expansion of the company's portfolio. While the announcement of potential blood clotting side effect of its vaccine caused a temporary dip, overall long-term outlook remains strong.
