Roche Holding AG (RHHBY) has been grabbing the attention of investors with numerous news. The pharmaceutical giant has been making significant moves, such as a huge $5.3 billion deal with Danish obesity drugmaker, triggering a 4% share price surge. It has also forged a major alliance with Zealand for an obesity collaboration yet to yield profitability. Despite setbacks like Novo Nordisk's stocks slipping, Roche's earnings have generally shown strong growth. With Bernstein, UBS and BNP Paribas Exane giving the company a Buy rating, the momentum doesn't appear to be slowing. However, there are also warnings on the horizon: J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank and HSBC have all given Sell ratings. Concerns are expressed over the side effects of a potential obesity pill and the implications of a high-dose version of Roche's top drug failing in studies. Nevertheless, Roche sustained solid sales growth, margin leverage and the development of late-stage pipeline, which could secure future profitability. The company even managed to increase its annual dividend to CHF 9.70 and plans to invest $50 billion in the US, to avoid tariffs, creating thousands of jobs.
