AstraZeneca's recent performance triggers
CFO and
CEO's purchase of shares due to the vesting of a performance plan. Analysts regularly highlight stocks as a good buy within global, foreign dividend, ADR, FTSE dividend, European dividend, and targeted pharma sectors, such as immunotherapy or immunology. In addition, several hedge funds acknowledge AstraZeneca's worthiness for investment. The company’s
strategic drug portfolio and positive risk-reward scenario underpin its promising
growth potential. Although the company has faced a few setbacks, its intrinsic value remains above market price. The company’s performance has been strongly tied into the state of its China probe causing fluctuation in stock prices, and while recent updates have soothed investors, clearer communication is desired. Various financial services companies like UBS, Morgan Stanley, and BofA continue to rate AstraZeneca stock highly, with Goldman Sachs slightly reducing its target. Its recent Q3 earnings beat expectations, leading to raised 2024 outlook and increased US investments. However, challenges with cancer drug trials and lawsuits somewhat stalled AstraZeneca’s upward journey. Looking ahead, the buy-and-hold strategy is considered the most practical among analysts, especially given its projected high growth.
