AstraZeneca shares fell 7% after news emerged that it is in talks to buy US rival Bristol Myers Squibb, potentially forming a pharmaceutical group valued near $400 billion. This move would significantly expand AstraZeneca's presence in the US market and mark a strategic shift for CEO Pascal Soriot, who previously rejected a Pfizer takeover. Bristol Myers Squibb recently reported strong quarterly results and raised its annual outlook, adding momentum to the potential deal. AstraZeneca aims to hit $80 billion in annual sales by 2030 despite recent drug development setbacks.
