Roche Holding AG had a turbulent period, with stock prices being impacted by several major events. The company's plans for a
massive overhaul of its securities add to investor's interest. The healthcare giant is facing some growth challenges leading to
stock downgrade, however, its
negotiation of a $5.3 billion deal with Zealand Pharma for obesity drug led to a surge in stock price.
Analyst reports have been divided, with some like J.P. Morgan maintaining their
sell rating, while others have continued to promote the stock as a buy. Despite
regulatory setbacks in the EU and concerns over the competition in the obesity drug market, Roche reported
7% sales growth driven by its pharmaceutical division. Downgrades followed failure of the gene therapy trial and withdrawal of the obesity drug Elevidys from market, nonetheless,
steady strong pharmaceutical growth and prospective
expansion in diagnostics somewhat counteract those impacts. The company's plans to invest $50 billion in the US further bolster Roche's future prospects.
