Novartis, a multinational pharmaceutical company, has experienced extensive trading activity recently manifesting as both growth and decline. The company's stock is drawing attention due to strong sales of blockbuster drugs, resulting in a share price just below its all-time high. Notably, Novartis has outperformed market expectations, leading to raised guidance. The share price continued to rise on the back of positive data from a cancer drug trial. Various investment companies such as Grimes & Company, Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services, and Brookstone Capital Management showed their confidence by increasing their holdings. Despite these positives, the stock faced a slump when earnings and guidance fell short of expectations. Novartis' move to acquire MorphoSys – part of the company's focus on innovation in treatments – has been well-received. However, weaker than expected prostate cancer drug sales slightly dented the share price. Goldman Sachs highlighted Novartis' robust innovation whilst rating the stock a 'buy'. Lastly, despite dipping, Novartis' stock remains an attractive option for long-term investment, owing to its high dividend yield.
