The quarter’s growth was framed around continued demand in major franchises, with attention on established blockbusters such as Enbrel and Prolia as meaningful contributors. With the U.S. representing the majority of sales, a firm U.S. demand backdrop has been a key pillar of the upside narrative in today’s trade. (ad-hoc-news.de)
