Sachin Jain has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting GlaxoSmithKline’s future performance. Despite the stock’s low price-to-earnings ratio, the company’s projected earnings per share growth is expected to decline significantly between 2027 and 2030. This decline is largely attributed to the loss of exclusivity for key HIV drugs, which is anticipated to lead to a substantial decrease in sales.
Additionally, some of GlaxoSmithKline’s major product lines are either maturing or experiencing declining sales, and new product launches may not be sufficient to counterbalance these trends. While there is potential for new products like depemokimab, uncertainties remain regarding their ability to offset the anticipated declines. The company’s research and development expenses are also expected to increase, further impacting earnings. Overall, the lack of clear upside potential from the pipeline and competitive pressures contribute to the Sell rating.
