Shares of Daiichi Sankyo fell nearly 11% to 2,497.50 yen after the company delayed its earnings report for the fiscal year ending March 2026 to May 11, citing a review of its oncology portfolio and contract manufacturing provisions. The company also plans to release its five-year business plan for 2026-2030 on the same date. This delay occurs as Daiichi Sankyo shifts towards innovative drug discovery, having recently sold its over-the-counter drug business to Suntory Holdings for $1.55 billion. The stock is down nearly 26% this year.
