Sandoz results should not be seen as positive for generics, says Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo analyst David Maris sees nothing in the Q1 results from Novartis (NVS) unit Sandoz that points to a dramatically improving U.S. generic pricing environment. We would tot read the Sandoz results as a positive for generic companies such as Teva (TEVA) and Mylan (MYL), and commentary about generic Copxone pricing trends is a negative, Maris tells investors in a research note. He believes Sandoz trends are important to watch as a potential read-through for other generic drug company results. Novartis continues to see higher generic headwinds in the remainder of 2019, Maris points out, citing comments from the earnings call.
