Berenberg raises target price on GSK

Berenberg satated as CFO in 2026, Brown will be focusing on delivering the financial ambition for the business, with its Blenrep and depemokimab assets being "key commercial drivers" that it believes to be "underappreciated by the market".

"GSK trades on 10.3x 2026 adjusted earnings versus European peers on 13.7x. On EV/NPV, GSK trades c12% below European peers (0.80x versus 0.91x) and c21% below the value of marketed assets alone."
