Novartis' stocks have experienced fluctuations due to a combination of events. Firstly, the slip in stocks was seen as
Generics challenged the company's most profitable drug. However, analysts believe that Novartis is still a significant contender for long-term value stock. Boosting this sentiment was the company's move to increase its full-year guidance following the
Avidity Biosciences acquisition and a favorable growth in the portfolio. Nevertheless, some market watchers fear the generic challenge may hamper Novartis' growth.Novartis made headlines with the announcement of its plan to acquire the U.S. based biotech firm,
Avidity Bioscience. Investors responded positively to this news, which was reflected in the surge of Avidity's stock prices. Novartis CEO defended this $12 Billion acquisition move as a strategic risk worth taking. The consequent rise in stock holdings of Novartis by several companies suggested the market's confidence in their aggressive expansion strategies.However, contrary opinions also emerged with Goldman Sachs suggesting the stock might be overvalued, which led to a minor slip in the stocks. Peak performance indicators like hitting a 52-week high have kept the stocks buzzing. The full impact of this aggressive acquisition in the face of generics' challenge remains to be seen.
