Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, commenting on the results said:
“Our strong momentum in revenue growth continued through the first half of the year and the delivery from our broad and diverse pipeline has been excellent, with 12 positive key Phase III trial readouts including for baxdrostat, gefurulimab, and Tagrisso in just the past few weeks.
As we enter our next phase of growth, we have pledged $50 billion to continue to grow in the US, which includes the largest manufacturing investment in AstraZeneca’s history, set for Virginia. This landmark investment reflects not only America’s importance but also our confidence in our innovative medicines to transform global health and power AstraZeneca’s ambition to deliver $80 billion revenue by 2030.”
