Healthcare giant GSK plc (GSK) has been identified as one of the top vaccine and immunological stocks by hedge funds and analysts. Recent reports highlighted the increase in GSK's stakes by Altrius Capital Management Inc and Equity Investment Corp, even as institutions like QRG Capital Management Inc reduced their stakes. The company's 2031 outlook is set to surge north of $50 billion embodying an increase of 8%.
Recent developments include GSK's $2.5 billion share buyback plan, primarily a growth strategy to enhance shareholder value. Moreover, despite potential risks from new activist campaigns and a dip in shares, GSK has initiated a strong performance resulting in a rating upgrade to 'strong buy'. The stock also weathered underwhelming results, showing resilience in a volatile market.
In a contrasting move, Citadel, led by Ken Griffin, has reportedly shorted GSK shares. Meanwhile, the drugmaker's strong performance in the HIV and cancer drugs sector triggered a £2bn buyback, driving the share price up by 6%. Despite a decline of 20% over three months, analysts maintain that GSK stock continues to hold potential as an undervalued defensive stock and is worth considering for investment.
