Competitive Position

Novartis is the #6 pharma company. Post-Sandoz spin-off, it is a pure-play innovative medicines company. Entresto and Cosentyx are the growth engines, with radioligand therapy (Pluvicto) as a novel modality.

Future Outlook

Revenue projected to grow to $50B+ by 2026. Entresto remains a key growth driver (expanding to HFpEF). Pluvicto (radioligand) and Leqvio (siRNA) represent novel modality platforms with significant potential.
