There has been substantial activity around pharmaceutical company GSK's stocks recently. Prominent hedge fund Citadel has taken a substantial short position in the company. Despite some negative sentiment, positive factors include a significant boost to GSK's long-term outlook, increasing its 2031 target to over $50 billion, and the launch of a $2.5 billion share buyback plan.
However, Morgan Stanley started with an underweight rating for GSK's stocks. Contrary to this, the company's outlook is favorable due to positive Q4 results and increased sales target after a successful fourth quarter. The renewed outlook is attributed to robust sales in HIV and cancer drugs.
The adverse effects from vaccines hit the shares earlier, plunging GSK to a 10-month low. Yet, recent news around the company's revised long-term guidance and its comprehensive share buyback plan have elevated GSK stocks.
Increased investor participation like Van ECK Associates and Ledyard National Bank acquiring substantial shares indicates market confidence. Despite underwhelming results, GSK is optimistic about future dividend forecasts through to 2026.
