AstraZeneca Posts Record Quarter as Cancer Drugs Lift Sales, Keeps Guidance

The company deepens its pivot to the US with a shareholder-backed New York listing plan.

Overview

  • Total revenue reached $15.2 billion in the third quarter, topping consensus estimates of $14.8 billion and marking the company’s largest quarter.
  • Net profit rose 77 percent to $2.53 billion from a year earlier, driven by strong performance in oncology.
  • Cancer treatments accounted for almost 44 percent of quarterly revenue, with oncology sales up about 16 percent.
  • AstraZeneca reiterated its outlook, including guidance for high single-digit revenue growth and low double-digit core earnings per share growth in 2025.
  • Investors approved a direct New York listing as the company advances a US pricing agreement that lowers drug costs in exchange for a three-year tariff delay, while retaining its UK headquarters and primary London listing.
