In a string of news, Roche announced it is set to acquire Poseida Therapeutics, a company focused on CAR-T cell therapies, in a deal worth up to $1.5 billion. This news brought a surge in Poseida's stock, reaching over 3-year highs. However, Roche stocks experienced varied responses. Positive data about its obesity drugs drove a surge in stock value. Despite this, concerns regarding side effects from its obesity pill led to a slump. Furthermore, some analysts indicated potential risks in Roche due to modest 2024 outlook and lowered growth prospects. The news also highlighted the progress of Accu-Chek Smartguide's launch in Europe and an increase in Q3 sales lead by Ocrevus and Vabysmo drugs. However, disappointments were shared over the three-year shareholder returns persisting lower and company earnings falling further. Lastly, Roche CEO expressed confidence in the company's outlook and momentum.
