Lonza Group AG (LZAGY) Q1 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Reflecting Lonza's Vacaville acquisition, we increased our sales and EBITDA expectations. The company has an ongoing buyback and a progressive dividend per share. We positively view the new CEO appointment. This removed an overhang of Lonza's equity story. Our buy is then confirmed.

Lonza: Acceleration In Mid-Term Sales Growth

Lonza Group aims to increase revenue by double digits by 2028 through aggressive expansion in the CDMO space. Lonza expects to increase its EBITDA margin to 32%-34% by 2028 and maintain a low debt ratio. The company plans to generate 25% of its revenue as underlying free cash flow by 2028, supporting its growth ambitions.

Lonza Group AG (LZAGY) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Lonza said on Friday Chairman Albert Baehny will step down in May after six years in the job, in a second senior management reshuffle in recent months as the Swiss contract drug manufacturer grapples with the loss of COVID-related business.

Lonza chairman to step down, drugmaker confirms targets, shares soar

Here at the Lab, post Capital Market Day, we are in a show-me-story scenario. Moderna contract termination is a positive short-term catalyst; however, it is an adverse concern over the biotech sector's medium-term growth projections. We still believe that Lonza is a buy, but the company needs to rebuild investor confidence.

Lonza: The Day Has Come, And We Lower Our Expectation

Lonza's CEO departure raises questions about business continuity, but we believe the stock price already reflects the worst-case scenario. Lower CAPEX and an ongoing buyback program (with potential M&A flexibility) are a plus given a 'higher for longer' interest rate environment. Lonza's supportive trends in biologics growth and improving margins make the company a buy.

Lonza Group: Downside Scenario Already Priced In

Contract drug manufacturer Lonza said on Monday Chief Executive Pierre-Alain Ruffieux will leave the Swiss company by mutual agreement at the end of the month, weighing on investor confidence about the group's medium-term profit prospects.

The recent IRA list of 10 drug publications is not expected to have a significant impact on big pharma stocks in the near term. The legal challenges by big pharma companies against the IRA may derail the implementation of the drug pricing reforms.
