Takeda's Rich Pipeline Optionality Is Worth A 'Buy'

TAK's FY2025 revenue was about $28.4 billion, which was down 1.7% YoY due to Vyvanse's generic pressure. This remains a growth headwind until their first wave launches. Management is pairing a new transformation program with cost-cutting measures that will target over $1.3 billion in annualized gross savings by FY2028. As such, I believe TAK's long-term bull case depends on three near-term launch candidates (i.e., the first wave) with oveporexton, rusfertide, and zasocitinib.
