Business
Novartis AG (NVS), a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Basel and founded in 1996 through the merger of Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz, develops, manufactures and markets innovative medicines focused on oncology, immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases; key products include Kisqali (ribociclib) for breast cancer, Cosentyx (secukinumab) for psoriasis and arthritis, Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) for heart failure, Kesimpta (ofatumumab) for multiple sclerosis, Pluvicto for prostate cancer, Scemblix (asciminib) for leukemia, Leqvio for cholesterol reduction, Zolgensma for spinal muscular atrophy, and radioligand therapies alongside gene and cell therapies like Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel). The company operates globally with major research hubs in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and expanded facilities in the US including a new San Diego research center planned for 2028-2029 and manufacturing investments totaling over $23 billion across 10 sites to achieve 100% end-to-end US production of key medicines by end-2025; it spun off its generics division Sandoz in October 2023 and Alcon eye care in 2019 to sharpen focus on high-value innovative medicines. Recent strategic moves include the October 2025 $12 billion acquisition of Avidity Biosciences to bolster RNA therapeutics for neuromuscular diseases, completion of Tourmaline Bio acquisition for pipeline enhancement, February 2025 purchase of Anthos Therapeutics for $925 million in cardiovascular assets, April 2025 agreement to acquire Regulus Therapeutics for up to $1.7 billion in microRNA therapies, plus licensing deals with Argo Biopharma, Arvinas, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals and Dren Bio exceeding $17 billion in potential value to offset patent losses and drive 5-6% compound annual sales growth through 2030.
