In short

Thesis
The market fears that Sanofi depends on Dupixent with a weak pipeline, and new late-stage successes under the new CEO over 2027 and 2028 can close the gap slowly.
Gap
Slow. A weaker pipeline must be rebuilt under a new CEO, and new late-stage results arrive only from 2027.

Company guidance: Sales growth of a low-teens percentage and business EPS growth of a mid-teens percentage at CER for 2026 (, Q3 2026 press release (6-K))

Price history

About

Sanofi is a French pharmaceutical company that sells medicines and vaccines in many countries. Its largest product is Dupixent, an antibody for atopic dermatitis, asthma and other diseases of type 2 inflammation, which it sells with Regeneron and shares the profit. Dupixent sales were €5.7 billion in Q3 2026. Sanofi also sells new medicines such as ALTUVIIIO, Sarclisa and Ayvakit, older medicines such as Lantus, and vaccines such as flu vaccines and Beyfortus for RSV in infants.

In the first nine months of 2026, net sales were €36,550 million, and the United States gave more than half of them. Sanofi reports in euros, and American Depositary Shares trade on the Nasdaq. For 2026, it expects sales to grow by a low-teens percentage at constant exchange rates.

Thesis

The market prices Sanofi as a company that depends on one drug and has a weak pipeline. Dupixent gave about 45% of sales in Q2 2026, and investors ask what replaces it when its growth slows. In 2026, the pipeline lost three of its hoped-for successors. On July 24, 2026, Sanofi stopped amlitelimab in atopic dermatitis and took a €952 million impairment, and it also stopped itepekimab and balinatunfib.

Investors also see a change of leaders. Paul Hudson left in February 2026, Belén Garijo became CEO on April 29, 2026, and she named a new Executive Committee from September 1, 2026. On October 1, 2026, Sanofi agreed to pay Regeneron $1 billion upfront for new long-acting antibodies, but they are at an early stage. For the gap to close, three things must be true.

Sales must grow by a low-teens percentage in 2026, as guided on October 30, 2026, and Dupixent must stay on its path to about €25 billion of sales in 2030. Pharma launches must grow toward about €10 billion of sales in 2030. The pipeline must deliver new late-stage results, such as frexalimab in multiple sclerosis and riliprubart in CIDP in 2027. The Q3 2026 report on October 30, 2026 raised the 2026 guidance, and the new CEO plans to report on her transformation roadmap in the coming quarters.

The FY 2026 report on January 28, 2027 gives the 2027 guidance. If the pipeline improves, the gap can close slowly, over 2027 and 2028.

Risks

  • Sanofi depends on Dupixent, which gave about 39% of sales in Q3 2026, and it shares the profit with Regeneron. Competing drugs, or the future end of its patents, can reduce this income.
  • The pipeline had large failures in 2026. Sanofi stopped amlitelimab, itepekimab and balinatunfib, and it took a €952 million impairment on amlitelimab. More failures make it harder to replace Dupixent.
  • The CEO and much of the Executive Committee are new in 2026. The new CEO plans a faster transformation, and its cost and its effect on the pipeline are not yet known.
  • The United States gives more than half of sales. US drug price rules and trade measures on medicines can lower prices or raise costs.
  • Vaccine sales fell 6.6% in Q3 2026 because of the timing of respiratory vaccines, and China sales fell 1.5% in the first nine months of 2026 as fewer children are born. Sales of older medicines also fall.
