Sandoz Group Ltd ( (CH:SDZ) ) has provided an announcement.

Sandoz plans to leverage its status as the leading pure‑play biosimilar and generics manufacturer to capture a substantial share of an expected USD 600 billion wave of patent expiries over the next decade. Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, CEO Richard Saynor will outline how recent strategic investments in European manufacturing hubs in Slovenia and France, successful biosimilar and generic launches, and a pipeline of more than 400 assets position the company to target roughly two‑thirds of the global generic and about 60% of the biosimilar loss‑of‑exclusivity opportunity, particularly in oral solids, injectables and longer‑term GLP‑1 therapies. Backed by 2024 sales of USD 10 billion and ongoing margin expansion, Sandoz aims to turn this “golden decade” of affordable medicines into accelerated growth and broader patient access, reinforcing its leadership in a market that already accounts for most prescriptions but a minority of total drug spending, and potentially reshaping competitive dynamics and cost pressures across global healthcare systems.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:SDZ) stock is a Buy with a CHF70.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sandoz Group Ltd stock, see the CH:SDZ Stock Forecast page.
