1038 ET – GSK’s newly launched drugs will be key to reduce risk on the U.K. pharmaceutical company’s outlook for next year, analysts at J.P. Morgan say. GSK recently launched blood-cancer drug Blenrep and asthma treatment Exdensur, while lung-cancer medicine Jideytro—which the company bought through its acquisition of Nuvalent—received U.S. approval last month.

The company’s efforts to accelerate its strategy look encouraging but, with the next pivotal study results due to come only in 2028, potential risks to earnings in the near term might draw investors’ attention, they add.
