Viatris

Viatris was formed in November 2020 through the combination of Upjohn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer that specialized in off-patent drugs, and Mylan, a global pharmaceutical manufacturer that focused on generic and specialty drugs. By joining forces, Viatris became one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world, servicing over 165 countries. Generics (commoditized and complex) and biosimilars make up roughly 40% of Viatris' total sales. Remaining 60% of sales is derived from its portfolio of legacy products which includes Lipitor, Norvasc, Lyrica, and Viagra. While it covers more than 10 major therapeutic areas, Viatris has identified dermatology, ophthalmology, and gastroenterology as its three key areas of focus for future innovations.

PepsiCo, Pfizer And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) witnessed electric vehicle sales soar 21.2% in the U.S. in January despite a drop in sales of both its E-transit van and F-150 Lightning truck.
EV Sales Buoyed By Mustang Mach-E: Ford <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801670/mustang-mach-e-spurs-fords-ev-sales-in-q4-after-it-delays-new-vehicle-launch">sold 5,666 electric vehicles</a> in January as compared to the 4,674 sold in the corresponding period of last year, the company said on Monday.
The rise in sales was purely due to the surge in sales of the company&#8217;s Mustang Mach-E electric SUV. Ford sold 3,529 units of the SUV in January as compared to just 1,295 in January 2024. 
The F-150 Lightning, meanwhile, witnessed a 15.5% dip in sales to 1,907 units while the E-Transit witnessed an 80% dip to 230 units.
In 2024, Mach-E sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42938610/ford-sold-more-electric-mustangs-than-gas-mustangs-in-2024">exceeded 50,000 units</a>, trumping the sales number of its gas-powered counterpart Mustang for the first time. Customer orders for the 2025 Mustang Mach-E opened in January end. 
Internal Combustion Vehicles Weigh Down Overall Sales: Ford&#8217;s overall deliveries across propulsion types fell 6.3% to 142,944 units, following a 9.4% drop in internal combustion engine vehicle sales. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41183132/us-regulator-opens-probe-into-more-than-368k-ford-edge-vehicles-over-concerns-of-loss-of-braking">Ford Edge SUV </a>witnessed a massive 91% drop in sales to just 633 units after its production ended in North America in April. 
Hybrid vehicle sales jumped 19.2% year-over-year to 13,295 units.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has quietly removed a workaround that allowed users to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs.
What Happened: The workaround, initially provided when Windows 11 version 21H2 was released, enabled users to bypass system requirements, including TPM 2.0 and specific CPU models.
However, the support document containing this information has been edited, removing the workaround after the release of Windows 11 24H2, as first <a href="https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-quietly-removes-official-windows-11-cputpm-bypass-for-unsupported-pcs/">spotted</a> by Neowin.
Microsoft&#8217;s official stance discourages installing Windows 11 on devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements. Users are advised to verify their device compatibility using the PC Health Check app.

The company has previously warned about the potential loss of hardware and software support for unsupported upgrades.
While some users have upgraded to Windows 11, about 400 million users remain on Windows 10 due to hardware limitations, according to a Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2025/02/03/microsoft-warns-400-million-users-do-not-update-windows/">report</a>. Microsoft suggests purchasing new PCs, ideally with AI features, for those unable to meet the upgrade requirements.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: Last month, Microsoft posted quarterly GAAP earnings of $3.23 per share, surpassing the consensus estimate of $3.11. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43320124/microsoft-shares-slide-after-q2-results-cloud-revenue-misses-expectations-details">company&#8217;s revenue</a> for the quarter reached $69.6 billion, exceeding analysts&#8217; expectations of $68.78 billion.
As of January 2025, Windows 10 remains the leading desktop operating system globally, commanding a 60.37% market share, according to Statcounter Global Stats report tracking the distribution of Microsoft&#8217;s operating system versions across desktop computers.
Windows 11 continues to gain traction, capturing 36.6% of the market. Despite being officially unsupported, Windows 7 still accounts for 2.24% of users, while Windows 8.1 and Windows XP maintain marginal shares of 0.3% and 0.27%, respectively. Windows 8 lags with just 0.16% of the market.

Investor sentiment remained positive in the fourth quarter of 2024, driving strong institutional and private client activity supported by a constructive market backdrop that reflected an increase in investors' risk appetite following the results of the US presidential election.&nbsp;
Constructive market conditions have continued into the first quarter of 2025 sustained by the greater optimism regarding growth prospects in the US. However, investor behavior may be affected by the clouded macroeconomic outlook outside the US, increased uncertainties around global trade, inflation and central bank policies, as well as geopolitics, including the upcoming elections in Germany. We see the markets as remaining particularly sensitive to new developments, positive or negative, leading to potential spikes in volatility across all asset classes.&nbsp;
In the first quarter, we expect a low-to-mid single digit percentage sequential decline in net interest income (NII) in Global Wealth Management and around a 10% sequential decline in Personal &amp; Corporate Banking's NII, measured in Swiss francs. Higher asset levels are expected to support recurring fee income across our asset-gathering businesses. As we progress our integration plans, integration-related expenses are expected to be around USD 1.1bn and accretion of PPA effects to contribute around USD 0.5bn to the Group's total revenues.&nbsp;
We remain focused on supporting clients with advice and solutions and continue to execute on our priorities, investing in people, products, and capabilities to drive sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders while maintaining a balance sheet for all seasons.

UBS Forecasts Q1 Decline In Net Interest Income Amid Integration Costs And Strategic Investments

In response to the United States&#8217; unilateral decision to impose a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods, China has announced its intention to retaliate by imposing tariffs on certain US imports.
What Happened: The State Council Customs Tariff Commission announced on Tuesday that it will be imposing tariffs on certain US imports, effective from Feb. 10. The decision comes in response to the U.S. government&#8217;s decision to levy a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods.
According to the announcement, the tariffs will be as follows:
1. A 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
2. A 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, high-displacement vehicles, and pickup trucks.
3. Additional tariffs will be imposed on the listed U.S. imports, on top of the existing rates. The current tax exemption and reduction policies will remain unchanged, and the additional tariffs will not be subject to reduction.

The announcement was made according to the laws of the People&#8217;s Republic of China, including the Customs Law, the Foreign Trade Law, and international legal principles. The decision was approved by the State Council.
In a separate statement, officials from the Chinese Commerce Ministry and customs announced the implementation of export controls on items related to tungsten, tellurium, ruthenium, and molybdenum.
Why It Matters: The decision by China to impose tariffs on select US imports comes in response to the US government&#8217;s decision to levy a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods. This move is part of the ongoing trade tensions between the two economic powerhouses, which have been escalating in recent years.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China are predicted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">impact several sectors</a> and potentially lead to retailers and companies raising prices on consumers to offset the higher prices.
Renowned economist and Obama-era Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, criticized President Trump's recent tariff impositions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425160/trump-tariffs-a-strategic-gift-to-xi-jinpings-china-says-obama-era-treasury-secretary-jobs-in-industrial-heartland-will-be-lost">describing them as a "bully strategy"</a> that could have far-reaching negative impacts.

Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, driven by robust performance in the chicken sales segment. This marks the company&#8217;s third consecutive quarter of annual growth across key metrics.
What Happened: The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43432806/tyson-foods-posts-q1-earnings-protein-conscious-customers-drive-demand-ceo-calls-it-best-quarter-in-2-years">reported</a> earnings of $1.14 per share beating the Benzinga consensus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSN/earnings">estimate</a> of $0.88 by 29.5% and sales of $13.62 billion, 1.21% above the estimated $13.46 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
"Our best quarterly performance in more than two years reflects improved execution across the business, including exceptional results in chicken," said president and CEO Donnie King.
The management during its earnings call highlighted that its diversified multi-protein portfolio delivered results, with chicken helping to offset the ongoing challenges in beef. Achieving the best adjusted operating income of any quarter over the past eight years in the chicken segment.
The company&#8217;s value-added products like Jimmy Dean griddle cakes and chicken biscuits gained traction as chicken also continued to be a &#8220;bright spot,&#8221; with sales increasing due to higher volumes in these foodservice channels, explained the company CFO Curt Calaway.
Calaway raised adjusted operating income guidance for the segment to $1 billion to $1.3 billion for fiscal 2025, given the chicken&#8217;s strong first-quarter performance.
Highlighting the concerns regarding the trade war with Mexico, King added &#8220;Mexico is a large trading partner for us. So, essentially, what we would do, whether it be pork or whether it would be chicken, is we would find other markets.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite strong growth in the Chicken segment in the first quarter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its website highlighted that H5 bird flu is widespread in wild birds globally, causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows, with recent human cases in U.S. farm workers. The public health risk remains low, but the CDC is closely monitoring the situation and people exposed to animals, using its flu surveillance systems.
CDC&#8217;s weekly scientific reports are on hold due to an "immediate pause" on communications by federal health agencies, ordered by Dorothy Fink, acting secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/30/health/bird-flu-mmwr-pause-trump-kff-partner/index.html">reported</a> that Fink&#8217;s memo, issued on President Donald Trump's first full day in office, requires any publication to be reviewed and approved by a presidential appointee. 
Price Action: Shares of Tyson Foods rose 2.21% to end Monday at $57.74 apiece. It fell by 0.24% in after-hours. The exchange-traded fund tracking Russell 2000, iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) declined 1.17% to $223.83 on Monday.
The average price target among 17 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSN/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $61.38 with a ‘sell' rating. The estimates range from $45 to $75 apiece. Recent ratings from Barclays, UBS, and Piper Sandler suggest a $65 target, implying a potential upside of 12.85%.

Tesla&#8217;s new registrations fell 7.8% in the fourth quarter and 11.6% in 2024. For the year, Tesla held a 52.5% share of the zero-emission vehicle market, down from the 60.1% share in 2023.
Tesla&#8217;s Model Y SUV, however, was the best-selling battery electric vehicle in the state last year with 128,923 registrations. The Model 3 sedan was the second best-selling BEV with 53,056 registrations. 
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s fall in registrations in California is not inconsistent with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43214246/researcher-expects-teslas-vehicle-deliveries-to-remain-flat-in-2025-contrary-to-musks-20-30-growth-prediction">overall performance last year</a>. 
The company reported a fall in vehicle deliveries for the first time in over a decade in 2024. Tesla reported global&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deliveries of 1.79 million</a>&nbsp;vehicles, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023, as the company attempted to ramp production of its refreshed Model 3 vehicle in a high interest rate environment. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41479388/elon-musk-says-tesla-spacex-manufactured-in-costly-california-just-because-he-lived-there-even-as-ri">affiliation with Republican President Donald Trump</a> also likely didn&#8217;t fare well with customers of the brand in the democratic state.

With steady demand, innovation, and aging demographics driving growth, investors could consider investing in fundamentally sound stocks like Viatris (VTRS), Bausch + Lomb Corp. (BLCO), and ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (ACAD). With strong industry tailwinds and discounted valuations, these stocks could offer solid upside potential. Continue reading… Despite market volatility, the healthcare sector remains one of the most resilient industries, thanks to its non-cyclical nature and the rising demand for medical services. As the industry evolves, companies that innovate and adapt are well-positioned for growth, offering attractive investment opportunities.
For investors, now might be an opportune time to seek out bargain hunting for healthcare stocks with strong potential, such as Viatris Inc.

The healthcare landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with advancements in technology, evolving patient needs, and the growing complexity of medical treatments.

With the global healthcare services market projected to <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/healthcare-services-market-industry-analysis">grow by $6.26 trillion</a> at a CAGR of 8.7% between 2023 and 2028, the sector's expansion remains robust.
