JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on AstraZeneca to 16,000 GBp from 14,000 GBp and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. JPMorgan also added AstraZeneca to its European Analyst Focus List. The firm adjusted ratings in the European pharma group as part of its 2026 outlook. It expects sector performance to be driven by pipeline readouts, saying much of the concern around the impact of U.S. price pressure on sector earnings has dissipated in Q4. JPMorgan downgraded companies with a lack of pipeline readouts in 2026.
