As the drug industry is in the middle of a growing policy maelstrom in Washington, D.C., investors are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">closely watching pharmaceutical ETFs</a> to measure market sentiment and ride out the emerging volatility. 
With President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration rehashing contentious ideas on drug pricing and manufacturing policy, the stakes are increasing — not only for Big Pharma, but for the overall healthcare investment environment.
Amid the trends, pharma-targeted ETFs are being watched under a more risk-averse lens. Each of the funds provides sector exposure, but structural idiosyncrasies — and varying levels of protection from regulation-induced shocks — are gaining heightened relevance.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Slicing Up The Pharma ETF Scene</h1>
iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHE#NYSE">IHE</a>)
The ETF offers concentrated exposure to large-cap U.S.-listed pharma companies. Its top holdings are Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) — companies with strong pipelines and international revenue streams.
Defensive Tilt: IHE&#8217;s emphasis on blue-chip names makes it a relatively defensive play during periods of political unrest.
Policy Sensitivity: But its large weighting in companies with substantial Medicaid and U.S. sales exposure renders it highly sensitive to pharmaceutical pricing reform in the domestic market.
SPDR S&amp;P Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPH#NYSE">XPH</a>)
Unlike IHE, the SPDR S&amp;P Pharmaceuticals ETF uses an equal-weighting style, dispersing exposure across a larger segment of the industry, including mid- and small-cap companies such as Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>).
Diversified Risk: This format caps overconcentration in a single name and increases sensitivity to prospective M&amp;A action.
Higher Volatility: As more importance is assigned to lesser-known participants, XPH can see greater price volatility, particularly as regulatory threats play out.
VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPH#NASDAQ">PPH</a>)
Those in search of global exposure should look at PPH, which includes international powerhouses such as AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) on par with U.S. behemoths.
Geopolitical Hedge: International diversification renders PPH less susceptible to U.S.-specific tariff risks or reforms.
Growth Exposure: Novo Nordisk&#8217;s dominance of GLP-1-based obesity treatment provides a high-growth component, although subject to some headwinds due to compounding alternatives in the U.S.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility Ahead?</h1>
These ETF dynamics are unfolding against a backdrop of sweeping proposals and heightened industry-government tension. The Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44945973/trump-administration-considers-lowering-us-drug-prices-to-international-levels-report">revived push to tether Medicaid drug prices to lower international benchmarks</a> has sent shockwaves through the pharmaceutical sector. Industry analysts estimate the pricing framework could erase as much as $1 trillion in revenue over a decade, according to Bloomberg.
Surprised by the White House&#8217;s latest move, drug industry executives have mounted a concerted lobbying effort, trying to keep the policy from taking hold in Congress. Although some Republican lawmakers, including Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie, have reaffirmed their opposition to global reference pricing, the proposal is still a live political threat, Bloomberg reported.
And adding to investor anxiety is Trump&#8217;s latest threat of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708204/trump-hints-at-major-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-us-pharma-stocks-tumble-in-wednesday-pre-market"> sector-specific tariffs on drugs</a>. Although the Department of Commerce&#8217;s Section 232 investigation can take months, the threat of new import tariffs — particularly on Indian generics and contract-manufactured products — has already spilled over into related stocks. Insiders within the industry say the administration might move while there is a 90-day moratorium on reciprocal tariff imposition.
Not all of Washington&#8217;s signals are bearish, though. A recently signed executive order is intended to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45215281/trump-orders-fda-to-fast-track-us-drug-production-as-tariff-threat-looms-on-imported-medicines-cites-national-security-concerns">lower FDA approval times for U.S. manufacturing plants</a> — potentially speeding up reshoring and encouraging investment in U.S.-based production. For more exposed domestic manufacturers and smaller company-focused ETFs such as XPH, this may be a long-term tailwind.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Proceed, But With Prescription-Strength Caution</h1>
For those looking for exposure to the pharma industry, ETFs are still an important tool — but their variations are more important than ever.
IHE provides stability but is heavily influenced by the success of U.S. policy.
XPH offers balanced exposure and is potentially more sensitive to reforms in domestic manufacturing.
PPH offers a global cushion, especially useful if U.S.-focused risks increase.
In the end, pharma ETFs&#8217; future may depend less on laboratory discoveries than on the political medicine doled out by Washington.

AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo's ENHERTU followed by THP showed an improved safety profile vs. standard of care
First Phase III trial to demonstrate benefit of ENHERTU in early breast cancer
Positive high-level results from the DESTINY-Breast11 Phase III trial showed ENHERTU&#xAE; (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki)followed by paclitaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab (THP) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in pathologic complete response (pCR) rate versus standard of care (dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by THP [ddAC-THP]) when used in the neoadjuvant setting (before surgery) in patients with high-risk, locally advanced HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. Pathologic complete response is defined as no evidence of invasive cancer cells in the removed breast tissue and lymph nodes following treatment.
The secondary endpoint of event-free survival (EFS) was not mature at the time of analysis; however, EFS data showed an early positive trend favoring ENHERTU followed by THP compared to standard of care. The trial will continue to follow EFS.

AstraZeneca And Daiichi Sankyo's ENHERTU Followed By THP Shows Improved Safety Profile Vs. Standard Of Care

Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) during the first quarter secured a multi-million dollar deal to build &#8220;the world&#8217;s largest foundation model for oncology.&#8221;
What Happened: During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45238450/tempus-ai-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-raised-fy-guidance-shares-surge">first-quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, Tempus shed light on its new $200 million, three-year data and modeling license agreement with AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) and Pathos AI, aimed at developing a foundational model to support diagnostics and drug discovery in oncology.
&#8220;And this is big for a few reasons,&#8221; said Tempus CEO Eric Lefkofsky. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/04/44960263/tempus-ai-stock-is-ripping-higher-wednesday-whats-fueling-the-move">This deal</a> brings the company's total remaining contract value to $1 billion and provides access to more than 300 petabytes of rich multimodal data linked to outcomes. Most importantly, Lefkofsky added, a substantial portion of the computing costs will be covered by AstraZeneca and Pathos AI.

Lefkofsky says that the model is expected to be completed within 9 to 12 months, following which, each party will get a copy, &#8220;AZ [AstraZeneca] and Pathos to advance their drug discovery efforts and Tempus to advance its diagnostic and data products,&#8221; he says.
Lefkofsky also emphasized that the agreement is non-exclusive, allowing Tempus to license its data and collaborate on model development with other partners in the future. &#8220;We can essentially license data and build models with others, and we hope to do so,&#8221; he said, underscoring the broader strategic value of the deal.
Why It Matters: Tempus shares have been popular among retail investors ever since Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43131818/whats-going-on-with-tempus-ai-shares-wednesday">disclosed her position</a> in the company, early this year. 
There has also been a big <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43805475/big-bets-on-ai-powered-precision-medicine-major-funds-from-ark-and-jpmorgan-to-blackrock-and-citadel-add-tempus-ai-to-their-portfolio">surge in institutional holdings</a> in recent months, with the likes of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), and Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest all scooping up its shares. 
The company reported $255.76 million in revenue <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45238450/tempus-ai-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-raised-fy-guidance-shares-surge">during the first quarter</a>, up 75.4% YoY, and ahead of consensus estimates at $248.13 million. It posted a loss of $0.24 per share, beating analyst estimates forecasting a loss of $0.27 per share. 
Price Action: Tempus shares were down 3.48% on Tuesday, and it is currently down another 1.72% after hours.

AstraZeneca's Triple-Combination Therapy Breztri Hits Primary Goals In Two Pivotal Studies For Asthma

Positive high-level results from the Phase III KALOS and LOGOS trials in patients with uncontrolled asthma showed that AstraZeneca's fixed-dose triple-combination therapy BREZTRI AEROSPHERE (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate or BGF (320/28.8/9.6μg)) met all primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in lung function compared with dual-combination inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta2-agonist (ICS/LABA) medicines.
KALOS and LOGOS were replicate, randomized, double-blind trials designed to investigate BREZTRIas a potential treatment for asthma.1,2 The trials evaluated the efficacy and safety of BREZTRIversus maintenance treatment with ICS/LABA in adults and adolescents with uncontrolled asthma.

AstraZeneca's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NYSE">AZN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 41.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.33 million shares sold short, which is 0.2% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>AstraZeneca Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745956820_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AstraZeneca has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AstraZeneca's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AstraZeneca's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.85%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

U.S. stock futures rose Tuesday morning as investors looked ahead to upcoming earnings reports and awaited greater market clarity throughout the week.
Things haven&#8217;t moved all that much on the trade and tariffs front, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent merely stating on Monday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45038824/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions-india-to-be-the-first-trade-deal-to-be-signed">it was up to China</a> to &#8220;de-escalate&#8221; trade tensions. Bessent also hinted at a potential trade deal with India, saying that &#8220;it would be one of the first deals we would sign,&#8221; which investors will be watching closely.
This is set to be a packed earnings week for Wall Street, with four of the &#8220;Mag 7&#8243;— Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Meta&nbsp;Platforms&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>),&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;and Amazon&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), set to release their quarterly results over the next couple of days.

Bitdeer Tech And Tempus AI Are Among Top 18 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (Apr 21-Apr 25): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Tempus AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) shares are surging Wednesday after the company announced a multi-year collaboration with AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44946320/tempus-signs-expanded-strategic-agreements-with-astrazeneca-and-pathos-to-develop-the-largest-mult">and Pathos AI</a>.
What To Know: Tempus AI announced a multi-year, strategic collaboration with AstraZeneca and Pathos to build a multimodal foundation model in oncology. 
The model, which will be built using Tempus&#8217; de-identified oncology data, is expected to be used for the collection of biological and clinical insights, the discovery of novel drug targets and the development of therapeutics for the oncology community as a whole.
The agreement with AstraZeneca expands on the strategic partnership between the two companies. Tempus said the collaboration includes&nbsp;$200 million&nbsp;in data licensing and model development fees. 
&#8220;Generative AI and the emergence of large multimodal models is the final catalyst needed to usher in precision medicine in oncology at scale,&#8221; said Eric Lefkofsky, founder and CEO of Tempus AI.
&#8220;Tempus has spent the last decade investing billions of dollars into collecting the necessary data needed for a foundation model of this kind to take shape. We look forward to working with AstraZeneca and Pathos to apply AI-enabled solutions to advance therapies in an effort to help patients live longer and healthier lives.&#8221;
Tempus AI shares have seen a rise in popularity among retail investors this year ever since former House Speaker&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43131818/whats-going-on-with-tempus-ai-shares-wednesday">disclosed</a> a position in the company. A regulatory filling from January showed that Pelosi purchased 50 call options in Tempus AI on Jan. 14. The calls have a strike price of $20 and don't expire until Jan. 16, 2026.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TEM Stock</h3>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Tempus AI's case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
