GSK has significantly surged in the market recently, experiencing an 8% increase after raising its 2031 outlook to above $50 billion and implementing a $2.5B share buyback plan. Investments have flooded in from various asset management firms including Long Run Wealth Advisors, SG Americas Securities, and Ledyard National Bank to name a few. The company's stock performance has been bolstered by strong HIV and cancer drug sales, persuading GSK to initiate a £2bn buyback. The firm also released its FY 2025 earnings guidance, shedding light on its anticipated future performance.
These positive performances have vastly offset the 3.4% loss investors would have absorbed if they had invested five years ago. Despite some disappointments with their vaccines, analysts continue to rate GSK's stock as a 'moderate buy', underscoring potential for continued growth. Consequently, share prices have leapt by 5% as results have outdone forecasts, and guidance continues to be upgraded. Yet, the company still remains an underrated defensive stock for 2025, illustrating the potential colossal return for investors.
