Reason

As previously reported, Barclays upgraded Novartis to Equal Weight from Underweight with a CHF 120 price target as the firm transferred coverage of European large-cap pharma to a new analyst. The firm sees the company's "fairly rich" pipeline as mostly well reflected in valuation or with competition, says the analyst, who also cites a "weak" operational outlook for 2026.

JPMorgan upgraded Novartis to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of CHF 125, up from CHF 95. 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.
