Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 26. July 2026 · Predicted for 29. July 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
68%

AstraZeneca has consistently beaten consensus expectations over the past six semi-annual and quarterly results, driven by oncology blockbusters (Tagrisso, Enhertu, Imfinzi) and the rare disease portfolio (Ultomiris, Soliris). FY2026 Core EPS growth of ≥10% YoY is company guidance. H1 2026 boosted by Farxiga launches in new indications and emerging market growth. No direct Polymarket data; historical beat probability >70% for AZ. Risks: FX pressure USD/GBP, generic competition for Tagrisso.
