UBS Downgrades Novartis to Neutral

On Tuesday, Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) agreed to acquire Anthos Therapeutics, Inc., a Boston-based, privately held, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVS" rel="noreferrer noopener">clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company</a>.
Anthos is developing abelacimab, a late-stage medicine to prevent stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, that occurs when the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly.
Novartis will <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/novartis-bolsters-late-stage-cardiovascular-pipeline-agreement-acquire-anthos-therapeutics-usd-925-million-upfront" rel="noreferrer noopener">pay</a> an upfront payment of $925 million and potential additional payments of up to $2.15 billion upon achieving specified regulatory and sales milestones.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025.

The transaction aligns with Novartis' growth strategy and therapeutic area focus, leveraging the company's strength and expertise in the cardiovascular area.
Anthos Therapeutics, launched by Blackstone Life Sciences and Novartis in 2019, has advanced abelacimab through clinical development under a license from Novartis.
Abelacimab is a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to induce effective hemostasis-sparing anticoagulation through Factor XI inhibition.
Phase 2 data showed a significant reduction in bleeding events in patients taking abelacimab versus a standard-of-care direct-oral anticoagulant in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Three Phase 3 trials are ongoing for patients at risk of arterial and venous clots, one in patients with atrial fibrillation and two in cancer-associated thrombosis.
In July 2022 abelacimab received an FDA Fast Track Designation for thrombosis associated with cancer.
In September 2022, abelacimab was also granted a Fast Track Designation for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation.
In November, Novartis acquired&nbsp;Kate Therapeutics to enhance and strengthen its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42115127/novartis-confident-in-growth-as-it-elevates-midterm-sales-forecast-ceo-narasimhan-highlights-robust-pipeline-supporting-long-term-strategy" rel="noreferrer noopener">portfolio of gene therapies</a>.
Kate Therapeutics is a San Diego-based, preclinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies to treat genetically defined neuromuscular diseases.
The transaction value is up to $1.1 billion, comprising an upfront payment and potential additional milestone payments.
Price Action: NVS stock is down 0.31% at $106.52 during the premarket session on last check Tuesday.

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While millions of NFL fans will tune in for the big game, millions will also tune in to see the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl commercials.</a>
What Happened: NFL media partner Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) has the rights to Super Bowl LIX and set its sights on charging $7 million for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship">30-second commercial slots.</a>
The media company was able to secure the majority of its ad slots in the $7 million to $7.5 million range and some last-minute availability came with a price tag of $8 million. Fox also saw strong demand and price increases compared to last year for the pre-game and post-game slots.
While some companies are skeptical to advertise during the Super Bowl due to the high cost, last year's record viewership could lure major brands back, as the game remains one of the most-watched events in the U.S. annually.
Here is a look at the companies that are airing Super Bowl commercials in Super Bowl LIX, as <a href="https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-2025-commercials-ads-brands-and-agencies/2584221">reported </a>by AdAge.

Novartis CEO Says Co Sets High Bar In Pursuit Of Obesity Deals

U.S. stock futures climbed on Friday, pointing to a third straight week of gains fueled by strong corporate earnings. Futures were higher for all four major indices.
The dollar index strengthened after Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. will implement a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective Saturday, Feb. 1. He also threatened the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43377987/after-imposing-tariffs-on-canada-donald-trump-threatens-100-levy-on-brics-for-move-against-dollar-how-will-us-manage-production-from-slippers-to-ships-asks-expert">BRICS nations</a> to impose 100% tariffs if they issue BRICS reserve currency.
Investors await the Personal Consumption Expenditure data for December, which will be released before the market opens.
The 10-year Treasury yield is currently at 4.53%, and the two-year yield is at 4.21%. The CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.htm">tool </a>indicates an 82% probability that the Federal Open Market Committee will maintain current interest rates in March 2025.

Cues From The Last Session
Stocks rallied Thursday following mixed reactions to a wave of earnings reports and economic data.
This followed Wednesday&#8217;s down session after the Fed held rates steady. Investor sentiment fluctuated due to DeepSeek&#8217;s low-cost AI model launch and Big Tech earnings, this week.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares fell 0.74% despite beating first-quarter revenue and earnings estimates as iPhone sales slipped in Q1 to $69.14 billion, versus $69.7 billion last year.

Insights From Analysts
According to the analysts at BlackRock, strong corporate earnings have set the tone for the fourth-quarter season in swing.
&#8220;Even with higher-for-longer interest rates, we think U.S. stocks can keep outperforming this year. We stay overweight. Resilient economic growth is helping sectors beyond tech. That's partly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) spurring earnings beyond the initial winners during an economic transformation and policy change, we think. Yet we eye risks to risk appetite changing this year depending on earnings and policy.&#8221;
With interest rates in focus Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein of Yradeni Research, said in their QuickTakes note that Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s basic message during his press conference was that the Fed is in no hurry to lower interest rates, but the Fed still intends to lower them over time.
Hence, they described it as a &#8220;dovish pause&#8221;.
Approaching the week from a technical perspective Jeff Buchbinder, the chief equity strategist at LPL Financial said that the S&amp;P 500 remains near record-high territory amid improving market breadth and momentum. &#8220;Technical damage within the heavy-weight tech sector has been minimal as buyers stepped up near support from the mid-January lows.&#8221;
Despite Monday's pullback, sector breadth is also holding up relatively well, with the majority of tech stocks trading above their 200-day moving average, Buchbinder added.
&#8220;However, technical damage has been more pronounced on a relative basis, as the tech sector vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart recently dropped to multi-month lows,&#8221; he said.

Core operating income was $4.9 billion, up 29% at constant currency, mainly driven by higher net sales. The core operating income margin was 36.9% of net sales, increasing by 3.7 percentage points at constant currency.

Net cash flows from operating activities for Novartis amounted to $4.2 billion in the quarter under review, while free cash flow amounted to $3.6 billion.

Dividend: Novartis declared a dividend of CHF3.50 per share, an increase of 6.1%, proposed for 2024.
FY25 Outlook: &#8220;With the momentum we are seeing in the business, we expect to continue our strong sales growth with margin expansion in 2025 and we remain on track to deliver on our mid-term guidance,&#8221; Narasimhan added.&nbsp;
For FY25, Novartis projects net sales to&nbsp;grow mid-to-high single digits,&nbsp;and core operating income to&nbsp;grow high single to low double digits.

This apart, the company is focused on executing its pipeline, which includes 15 submission-enabling readouts in the coming years and over 30 assets with the potential to drive long-term growth.
Price Action: NVS shares are trading higher by 1.86% to $106.70 premarket at last check Friday.

As AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) and Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) prepare to report their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">fourth-quarter earnings</a> before market open on Friday, investors are eyeing the technical setups of both pharmaceutical giants.
While AbbVie is stuck in a stagnating trend, Novartis appears to have a stronger bullish momentum. 
Let's break down the charts.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AbbVie: Caught In Neutral Gear</h1>
AbbVie's technical setup presents mixed signals. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-758712" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
AbbVie stock is trading above its short-term moving averages, with the eight-day ($173.14) and 20-day ($175.20) SMAs (simple moving averages) flashing bullish indicators. However, longer-term trends tell a different story — AbbVie stock is aligned closely against its 50-day ($175.33) SMA and below its 200-day ($178.77) SMA, suggesting lingering downside pressure. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at a negative 0.89 reinforces this bearish bias, while the RSI (relative strength index) at 50.39 indicates neutral momentum.
Overall, AbbVie is struggling for direction, with slight selling pressure keeping a lid on any breakout potential. A strong earnings beat could push the stock past key resistance levels, but the current setup suggests AbbVie is vulnerable to further consolidation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Novartis: Riding A Bullish Wave</h1>
Novartis, on the other hand, is trending decisively higher. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-758716" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
Novartis is trading above its short-term and mid-range moving averages, with the eight-day ($101.27), 20-day ($99.57), and 50-day ($100.44) SMAs all acting as support. The MACD at 0.68 points to bullish momentum, while the RSI at 63.61 shows strength without being overbought.
However, the stock remains below its 200-day SMA ($106.77), leaving some room for caution.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Implications</h1>
Heading into earnings, Novartis holds the technical advantage, displaying a stronger bullish structure and upward momentum. AbbVie, meanwhile, remains stuck in a range, needing a catalyst to break higher. 
Investors should watch key resistance levels — AbbVie above $177 and Novartis above $106 — for signs of further movement post-earnings.

AbbVie Vs. Novartis: Which Has The Technical Edge Before Q4 Earnings?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's pick for health secretary, addressed a wide range of medical-related topics on Wednesday during a confirmation hearing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43306674/trumps-hhs-pick-robert-kennedy-jr-begins-senate-confirmation-hearings">the Senate Finance Committee.</a>
While Kennedy&#8217;s tone in each back-and-forth varied, depending on the senator, it was evident that Kennedy&#8217;s role in the new administration would have a tremendous impact on both pharma and insurance stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Drug Price Negotiation</h3>
During one exchange about the high cost of drugs with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Kennedy said: "Senator, my understanding is that the White House issued an executive order, I believe today, supporting the drug negotiations under the I.R.A. President Trump was very aggressive during his first term about negotiating drug prices."
In reality, Trump has not signed an executive order on the topic since he was sworn into office. A Wednesday news <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cms-statement-lowering-cost-prescription-drugs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release</a> from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that lowering the cost of prescription drugs for Americans &#8220;a top priority&#8221; for the Trump administration and that he would work to improve the transparency of the negotiation process.
Perhaps Kennedy was recalling Trump&#8217;s first term. In 2020, then-45th President Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/20/09/17482940/trump-signs-executive-order-to-lower-us-drug-prices-after-negotiations-with-drugmakers-fail">signed an executive order</a> on U.S. Medicare drug prices intending to reduce costs. Industry leaders, including Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla, criticized the move. Pfizer was seeking regulatory approval to expand its late-stage vaccine trial at the time.
If Trump signs such an order, it would be a rare show of support from his camp for a Biden-era initiative. In addition to Pfizer, it would also impact major companies like Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), Novartis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) and AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>).
Last month, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43062779/popular-ozempic-wegovy-selected-for-next-round-of-medicare-drug-price-negotiations">identified the next 15 drugs</a> as subject to negotiation. The list included Ozempic and Wegovy — two expensive drugs for diabetes and obesity owned by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurance Providers</h3>
According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/29/us/rfk-jr-health-senate-hearing">New York Times</a>, Kennedy wasn&#8217;t exactly familiar with Medicare and Medicaid, but expressed support for Medicare Advantage, where private insurers provide coverage for elderly Americans.
Kennedy also called out what he considered to be &#8220;rapacious behavior by insurance companies." He even suggested he would support some of the efforts undertaken during the Biden administration to crack down on abusive tactics like denying care and overcharging the government.
Traders would be wise to keep an eye on how insurance stocks — especially those tied to Medicaid and Medicare providers — react if Kennedy is sworn in. The major players in this space include: 
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), the largest Medicare Advantage insurer in the U.S.; Centene Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>); Elevance Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>), one of the largest Medicaid managed care organizations; Humana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>); CVS Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>); Molina Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>); and Cigna (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>).
What&#8217;s Next: Kennedy seeks to be Secretary of Health and Human Services — a position that would put him in charge of the health of the American people.
The title also puts him in charge of the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He will appear before the Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions on Thursday.

Stifel initiated coverage on Cytokinetics Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYTK#NASDAQ">CYTK</a>), noting the company&#8217;s catalyst rich one to two years.
The M&amp;A speculation ramped up in early 2024 after the company released SEQUOIA-HCM Phase 3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36413624/cytokinetics-drug-potential-analyst-suggests-key-role-of-established-pharma-for-pot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial data of&nbsp;aficamten</a> in December 2023. However, last year,&nbsp;Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) decided to step back from pursuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36616494/cytokinetics-heart-drug-is-a-multi-billion-dollar-opportunity-by-2032-despite-novar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the&nbsp;Cytokinetics deal</a>.
Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>), AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) also all popped up as potential suitors, though the stock faded from there as a deal never materialized.

Cytokinetics has fallen out of favor with investors after a turbulent start to 2024, marked by a controversial Royalty Pharma Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) deal and no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38992589/heart-disease-focused-cytokinetics-operations-are-on-track-despite-acquisition-unce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mergers or acquisitions</a>.
Investors poorly received the structure of the Royalty Pharma deal at the time, and it continues to be a concern for many even today.
Stifel has initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CYTK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $80</a>. However, the outlook appears promising, with its valuation adjusted and several catalysts expected over the next 12+ months.
Stifel analyst James Condulis writes Cytokinetics&#8217; aficamten is an exceptional drug as it sets a strong competitive standard for a multi-billion-dollar obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) market.
As the rollout of Bristol Myers Squibb Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Camzyos mavacamten continues, some concerns remain about its potential in treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
While the initial launch is not seen as a negative sign for mavacamten&#8217;s potential, its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a barrier to fully unlocking the market.
Cytokinetics appears well-positioned to capitalize on Bristol Myers&#8217; groundwork with its second-to-market drug, aficamten, which is expected to have a best-in-class profile. There is a strong case for aficamten to secure a differentiated REMS, potentially including six-month echocardiograms (Q6M echos) as a standard.
Under conservative assumptions, aficamten could drive the U.S. oHCM market to approximately $3 billion.
Looking ahead to 2025 and 2026, Phase 3 nHCM data and early findings for HFpEF could present new opportunities. Although mergers and acquisitions are not a key focus, potential strategic interest could bring unexpected benefits.
Price Action: CYTK stock is up 3.45% at $47.40 at last check Wednesday.

A Google parent-owned startup is poised to begin clinical trials of its first artificial intelligence-designed drug by year-end, marking a significant milestone in pharmaceutical development as major tech companies increasingly invest in AI-powered healthcare solutions.
What Happened: Isomorphic Labs, an Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary, is targeting major disease areas including oncology, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegeneration, founder Demis Hassabis <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/41b51d07-0754-4ffd-a8f9-737e1b1f0c2e">told</a> Financial Times, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. 
The company has already secured partnerships with Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) for six drug development programs.
&#8220;It usually takes an average of five to 10 years to discover one drug. And maybe we could accelerate that 10 times, which would be an incredible revolution in human health,&#8221; said Hassabis, who recently received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Why It Matters: The announcement comes as Oracle Corp.

The initiative is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43118941/oracles-larry-ellison-says-cancer-vaccine-tailored-in-48-hours-could-soon-be-a-reality-as-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment">part of a $500 billion AI infrastructure project</a> called Stargate, developed in partnership with OpenAI and SoftBank Group.
