Swiss Pharma Giant Novartis Bets on Breast Cancer Blockbuster as Sales Rise

Novartis is doubling down on Kisqali, its breast cancer treatment, after reporting a solid 10% increase in quarterly revenue. The Swiss pharmaceutical giant sees Kisqali as a future blockbuster, especially after new trial data showed a significant survival benefit. The company’s overall growth was supported by strong performance across its oncology and immunology segments. CEO Vas Narasimhan highlighted Novartis’s pivot toward high-value, innovative medicines and confirmed full-year guidance. The market responded positively, with shares climbing on the back of the earnings report. Novartis’s bet on targeted cancer therapies appears to be paying off.
