The latest update is out from AstraZeneca ( (GB:AZN) ).

AstraZeneca reported positive interim Phase III data from the VOLGA trial showing that perioperative Imfinzi combined with neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin significantly improved event-free and overall survival in cisplatin-ineligible or cisplatin-declining patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer compared with surgery-based standard care. A second VOLGA regimen combining Imfinzi, Imjudo and enfortumab vedotin also met its event-free survival endpoint and showed a favourable overall survival trend, reinforcing AstraZeneca’s push to establish Imfinzi as an immunotherapy backbone in early-stage bladder cancer and potentially expanding its leadership in high unmet-need uro-oncology segments.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AZN) stock is a Buy with a £18000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AstraZeneca stock, see the GB:AZN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on AZN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AZN is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong underlying fundamentals (profitability, margins, and returns) and a constructive earnings update with reiterated guidance and meaningful pipeline progress. These positives are partly offset by weak technical momentum, moderate valuation, and near-term cash/debt pressures tied to higher investment and payments.
