Goldman Sachs Lifts AstraZeneca Target as Stock Rises
AstraZeneca stock has seen a significant gain following Goldman Sachs' decision to raise its target price for the pharmaceutical company.
The investment bank increased its target from 16,300 pence to 16,526 pence, representing an increase of 226 pence or approximately 1.4 percent.
This move comes after AstraZeneca's Chief Executive, Pascal Soriot, purchased 60,000 shares at a price of 121.02 GBP on September 14, 2026, providing further support for the stock.
The company's recent Q2 2026 earnings report showed revenue increasing by 5.84 percent year-over-year to 11.46 billion GBP, with earnings per share rising to 1.20 GBP in the same period.
