AstraZeneca PLC shares climbed on Friday after the drugmaker struck a deal to license obesity and weight management drug candidates from CSPC Pharmaceutical Group, in a pact valued at up to $18.5 billion. CSPC revealed AstraZeneca would pay $1.2 billion upfront, with an additional $17.3 billion contingent on meeting milestones.

Johnson & Johnson stock: Talc-court twist and EU drug nod set up next week

Johnson & Johnson stock: Talc-court twist and EU drug nod set up next week

Johnson & Johnson shares edged down 3 cents to $227.25 on Friday after a U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing the company of fraud related to its talc bankruptcy approach. The plaintiffs claimed J&J employed a “Texas two-step,” moving talc liabilities into a subsidiary that filed for bankruptcy to stall cancer lawsuits. Judge Michael Shipp ruled they hadn’t proven any real harm caused by the delay. J&J’s litigation head Erik Haas slammed the claims as “wholly meritless,” while the plaintiffs’ attorney said they’re considering an appeal.

Eli Lilly stock price (LLY): $3.5B plant, EU Mounjaro call and earnings ahead — what to watch

Shares of Eli Lilly finished Friday up about 1.3%, closing at $1,037.15. The boost came after the company unveiled a $3.5 billion plan for a new manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. This plant will produce injectable weight-loss drugs, including retatrutide—a next-gen medication Lilly says has outperformed Zepbound. “All these sites, including this one, will be really state of the art manufacturing to last many decades to come,” CEO David Ricks said in Allentown. Drugmakers like Pfizer and Merck & Co are also expanding U.S. capacity amid Donald Trump’s threat of import tariffs. Meanwhile, Lilly is racing Novo Nordisk for U.S. approval of an oral weight-loss pill, which it plans to price at $150 a month and launch in several countries.
