Novartis has shown a strong performance in the financial markets despite a few setbacks. The pharmaceutical major has been able to maximize its operating income after delivering an impressive Q2 performance, resulting in an initiation of a $10 billion stock buyback. This strong performance is attributable to the company's
safe utilization of debt. After a 15% surge, the company's stock continues to hold its ground due to the solid financial results. The Q2 earnings exceeded previous estimates, but despite this victory, the stock experienced a drop due to the CFO's retirement. Considered by many as a
value and
momentum stock due to its all-time high share price, the brand lead a beat-and-raise quarter, causing a rally in its shares.
Kisqali, a Novartis product, has shown record Q2 growth painting an even more promising picture of the organization. While a looming generic competition led to a slight decrease in the stock price, the trading volume had a significant growth.
Novartis AG shares also received a positive push following UBS AM's strategic acquisition. Despite a negative lag in sales of its major income generator, Entresto, the corporation unveiled plans to acquire Regulus therapeutics for $1.7 billion. Eventually, the pharmaceutical giant experienced a 4% surge and completed the acquisition leading to Resulus' delisting from Nasdaq.
