Novartis (NYSE: NVS) reported Q3 EPS of $1.45, $0.06 worse than the analyst estimate of $1.51. Revenue for the quarter came in at $14.8 billion versus the consensus estimate of $15.09 billion.
Pharmaceuticals is expected to deliver sales growth in the low- to mid-single digits, with volume growth more than offsetting the impact of generic competition and price pressures. In the fourth quarter, Diovan, as expected, will lose exclusivity in Europe. Alcon sales are expected to increase at a mid- to high-single digit rate on a pro forma basis. Sandoz is expected to deliver high-single digit sales growth, with the impact of the annualization of sales and increased competition for enoxaparin expected to dampen fourth quarter sales growth.
