third-quarter results for 2025 and declared its quarterly dividends. Despite facing margin squeeze and slower revenue growth effects, West Pharma is bolstering its footing by participating in investor conferences and welcoming Robert McMahon as new CFO. It also posted a
Q3 rebound and raised 2025 guidance, outperforming market expectations. This performance boost has led to an increase in stock purchases by entities including the California Public Employees Retirement System.
