> Healthcare Deutsche Bank 0 AstraZeneca — Richard Parkes, BUY, close 5171p, 5700p tgt, 10% upside • 2018 is a likely turning point for margin and EPS momentum. We believe EPS should grow at a c12% EPS CAGR to 2022 as it emerges from its patent cliff and margins grow. • Best-in-class pipeline. Exceptional data on new oncology portfolio puts AZ in a strong position despite MYSTIC failure. - Expectations for the overall survival readout of MYSTIC in 1H18 are low, so this is close to a free option in our view. A positive would deliver >10% upside. - The new portfolio, plus other growth products, should add >$2bn in incremental sales in 18E. • Substantial margin leverage momentum improvement. Several new launches leverage existing infrastructure and thus will have very high margins. - We expect flat EPS in 2018, but substantial growth thereafter. The equity story should shift to one of delivering or beating on revenue and earnings expectations. • The best-in-class growth justifies a larger premium than at present. The shares trade on 17x 18E PIE vs. 16x for peers. • Multiple catalysts from pipeline. Data on existing drugs Imfinzi and Lymparza in 1Q18, plus readouts on two potential blockbusters in roxadustat (anemia in chronic kidney disease) and anifrolumab (lupus) in the next 12 months.
