AstraZeneca Plc ( AZN ) on Tuesday reported second-quarter 2025 sales of $14.46 billion, up 12% year over year (+11% at constant currency), marginally beating the consensus of $14.07 billion, driven by double-digit growth in oncology and biopharmaceuticals.

The company's adjusted EPADS reached $1.08, missing the consensus of $1.10. The adjusted EPS was $2.17 (1 ADR = 2 Common Shares).

AstraZeneca's ( AZN ) top business, oncology (cancer), accounted for 44% of total sales. It increased 18% (up 18% on constant currency) to $6.31 billion.

The Prescription Drug User Fee Act date, the FDA action date for their regulatory decision, is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca ( AZN ), commented on Tuesday, "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.”

Guidance: For fiscal year 2025, AstraZeneca ( AZN ) reaffirms total revenue to increase by a high single-digit percentage and core EPS to increase by a low double-digit percentage.
