AstraZeneca forecasts profit and sales growth in 2026, driven by demand for cancer treatments and new drugs. CEO Pascal Soriot aims for US$80 billion in annual sales by 2030, supported by a US$50 billion manufacturing deal and a US$15 billion investment in China. The company expects mid to high-single-digit revenue growth and low double-digit profit growth in 2026. In 2025, sales and profit rose 8% and 11%, respectively, with cancer drug sales increasing 20% to US$7 billion, while cardiovascular drug revenue fell 6% to US$3.1 billion due to generic competition.
