  • AstraZeneca shifts U.S. trading to NYSE, eyes China expansion and obesity drug growth
    February 1, 2026, 3:03 PM EST. AstraZeneca will move its U.S. stock trading from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange starting Monday, maintaining its AZN ticker. The switch aims to affect liquidity and spreads for U.S. investors. Shares rose 0.65% in London ahead of full-year results on Feb. 10. The company is investing $15 billion in China by 2030 to expand manufacturing and research, focusing on cell therapy and radioconjugates. AstraZeneca also signed a $1.2 billion partnership with CSPC Pharmaceutical for weight-management drugs, with potential milestones up to $3.5 billion. Industry leaders in obesity drugs like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly remain competitive, but AstraZeneca hopes monthly dosing and AI-driven peptide technology will differentiate its pipeline.
