AstraZeneca lifted its annual sales and profit forecast for the second time in less than four months on Tuesday, helped by resilient demand for its cancer and rare diseases medicines. They now now expect 2024 revenue and core earnings per share to grow by high teens percentage, from a previous forecast of an increase by a mid-teens percentage at constant currency rates for both revenue and EPS.
Vodafone today reported a jump in operating profit and reiterated its financial guidance for the year after a string of asset disposals. They announced revenue for the first half of its financial year had risen 1.6% to €18.3bn (£15.2bn) as service revenue growth was partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds. Overall, service revenue grew by 1.7% to €15.1bn on a reported basis and 4.8% on an organic basis. Vodafone’s German arm experienced the biggest slowdown. Revenue at the division declined 6.1% in the second fiscal quarter. Vodafone announced operating profit of €2.4bn in the first half, up 28.4%, primarily driven by a €0.7bn gain on the disposal of an 18% stake in Indus Towers.
