The latest update is out from Hikma Pharmaceuticals ( (GB:HIK) ).

Hikma Pharmaceuticals reported 2025 core revenue up 6% to $3.35 billion and core operating profit up 3% to $741 million, driven by double-digit growth in its Branded unit and solid performance in injectables and Hikma Rx across North America, MENA and Europe. Despite a drop in reported operating profit due to legal settlements and some margin pressure in Injectables, the group maintained a robust balance sheet, raised its dividend 5% and launched 84 products including its first US biosimilar.

The company announced a $250 million share buyback for 2026 and outlined modest group revenue and profit growth targets, while withdrawing previous medium-term guidance following a strategic review of its Injectables business. A sweeping leadership reshuffle will see Executive Chairman Said Darwazah focus solely on the CEO role, a new chair appointed, regional deputy CEOs created and an acting CFO installed, signalling a push for greater agility and accountability as Hikma seeks to strengthen long-term performance and capitalise on biosimilar and specialty injectables opportunities.
