Novartis - Role Reversal (HOLD, TP CHF85 [83], 14 pgs)

Perversely, as investors worry about the impact of separating a low multiple business we show that there has been a role reversal in the Novartis group. We now forecast faster growth in Sandoz than in Pharma 2021-26. We estimate that 20% of 2021 group sales will be lost to generic competition by 2026. Whilst we still forecast 2% CAGR group sales growth over this period, which is a testament to NOVN’s innovation, group EPS grows just 3%. Based on our SOTP, we estimate a Sandoz separation has negligible impact on the group valuation. We upgrade our Sandoz forecasts which drives our PT upgrade.
