Deutsche Bank maintains a sell rating on AstraZeneca with a price target of 11,500p, despite shares trading at 13,064p. The bank views the recent ASCO conference data, including the positive phase III EMERALD-3 trial for liver cancer, as incremental but highlights unresolved regulatory approval questions for key drugs. AstraZeneca's absence from ASCO's plenary session for the first time since 2018 and cautious outlook on new treatments like Baxfendy add to concerns. However, 2027 could bring important pipeline catalysts with several phase III readouts expected, including for cardiovascular and renal drugs.
