The fair value estimate for AstraZeneca is maintained at GBX 12,400 per ordinary share and $81 for the US ADR. Management anticipates no long-term impact from hypothetical tariffs on drugs. Key events over the next 12 months include Avanzar for Datroway, baxdrostat’s phase 3 data presentation, and early breast cancer trials for Enhertu.
