Event Summary

Sanofi reported Q2 2026 results with sales growth of 17.8% at CER and business EPS of €2.09, up 33.3% at CER. Dupilumab sales exceeded €5 billion for the first time, growing 37.6%. Pharma launches sales increased 48.3% driven by Avapritinib, ALTUVIIIO, and Isatuximab. Vaccines sales declined 4.7% due to a high influenza vaccine comparison base. R&D expenses rose 17.9% to €2.2 billion, including pipeline prioritization costs. The company completed a €1 billion share buyback and upgraded its 2026 guidance: sales now expected to grow ~10% at CER, with business EPS growing slightly faster. Pipeline updates included seven regulatory approvals, two positive phase 3 readouts (Avalglucosidase alfa in Pompe disease, amlitelimab in atopic dermatitis), and discontinuation of amlitelimab global submission, itepekimab, and balinatunfib programs. CEO Belén Garijo highlighted an accelerated transformation roadmap and expects Dupilumab sales to reach ~€25 billion by 2030.
