Healthcare & BiotechCorporate EarningsCompany FundamentalsMarket Technicals & Flows

Novartis stock hit a 52-week high of $170.46 on February 27 before entering a correction, with the move partly attributed to a 33.2% quarter-over-quarter decline in Entresto sales to $1.25 billion in Q4. The article points to a meaningful product-level headwind rather than a broad business deterioration. Impact should be limited to Novartis shares and sentiment around its heart failure franchise.
