Viatris (VTRS) has taken strategic measures that include planned divestitures of certain businesses, leading to an increase in share value. The company has also earned the title as one of 'TIME’s World's Most Sustainable Companies 2024' twice. Despite underperforming in Q1 sales and earnings, many believe the earnings season could be lucrative for the company.
With missed Q4 earnings and revenue estimates, the consensus on Wall Street for Viatris's key metrics remains mixed. A positive note is the company's completion of all planned divestitures, meeting their 2023 financial targets and setting a course for continued growth in 2024. However, there is skepticism regarding Viatris’s valuation and the company’s potential for long-term growth.
Viatris experienced some setbacks with the US FDA declining approval for their multiple sclerosis injection. Yet in the midst of strategic shifts, the company's Q1 2024 earnings aligned with EPS projections.
Rogerio Vivaldi Coelho, M.D., joined the company's board of directors, while President of Greater China Xiangyang Ni sold a significant number of shares. Moreover, Viatris launched Copaxone®, a bioequivalent generic version, in Canada. Financial results for the Q1 2024 were strong, with the company reaffirming their financial guidance ranges for the year.
Notably, Viatris successfully signed a Global Research and Development collaboration deal with Idorsia. As of now, Viatris stock is regarded by certain analysts as undervalued with the potential for significant increase in value.
