West Pharmaceutical Services ( (WST) ) has provided an announcement.

West Pharmaceutical Services reported fourth‑quarter 2025 net sales of $805.0 million, up 7.5% year on year, with organic growth of 3.3% and adjusted diluted EPS rising 12.1% to $2.04. Full‑year 2025 net sales grew 6.3% to $3.074 billion, driven by strong High‑Value Product Components demand, while free cash flow surged 69.6% to $468.9 million and the company repurchased $134.0 million of its own shares.

Performance in the Proprietary Products segment was led by a 20.3% jump in High‑Value Product Components sales, which accounted for nearly half of quarterly revenue, partially offset by a decline in High‑Value Delivery Devices tied to a prior‑year non‑recurring fee. Contract‑Manufactured Products grew modestly on demand for self‑injection devices for obesity and diabetes, and West issued 2026 guidance calling for mid‑single‑digit organic sales growth and high‑single‑ to low‑double‑digit adjusted EPS growth, underscoring confidence in continued momentum and operational execution.

The most recent analyst rating on (WST) stock is a Buy with a $295.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West Pharmaceutical Services stock, see the WST Stock Forecast page.
