Why Is AstraZeneca Stock Trading Lower Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
AstraZeneca's stock is trading lower due to disappointing results from a late-stage trial of its experimental drug, datopotamab deruxtecan, for lung cancer patients. The data was worse than expected, with the drug only improving the time patients live without their disease worsening by 0.7 months compared to chemotherapy. The results did not drive excitement and are unlikely to result in any changes to forecast numbers for the drug.
