Adjusted EPS for the quarter came in at $2.13, 27% above analyst expectations, and management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $3.295 billion to $3.35 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $8.40 to $8.75. The company is exiting a legacy continuous glucose monitoring contract that is expected to create a $40 million revenue headwind in the second half, while also approving a new $1 billion share repurchase program and buying back 1.2 million shares in Q1. The combination of higher guidance, GLP-1 and biologics demand, and active buybacks reflects a management team leaning into current momentum while also acknowledging a known contract headwind later in the year. For investors, key questions include how durable GLP-1 and biologics-related demand will be and whether the exit from the CGM contract ultimately results in a cleaner long-term portfolio or becomes a drag if replacement revenue does not fully materialize.ライブニュース • Jun 08West Pharmaceutical Services Announces New CEO Board Changes and US$297 Million Share BuybackWest Pharmaceutical Services appointed Michel Lagarde as President and CEO, effective August 31, 2026, with outgoing CEO Eric M.

(Company) and certain West executives (collectively, “Defendants”). The action, which is captioned New England Teamsters Pension Fund v. West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., No. 25-cv-02285 (E.D. Pa.) asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired West common stock between February 16, 2023 and February 12, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). West is a medical supplies company based in Exton, Pennsylvania that operates as a key supplier to firms in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and generic drug industries. The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose that: (a) despite claiming strong visibility into customer demand and attributing headwinds to temporary COVID-related product destocking, West was in fact experiencing significant and ongoing destocking across its high-margin High-Value Products portfolio; (b) West’s SmartDose device, which was purportedly positioned as a high-margin growth product, was highly dilutive to the Company’s profit margins due to operational inefficiencies; (c) these margin pressures created the risk of costly restructuring activities, including the Company’s exit from continuous glucose monitoring contracts with long-standing customers; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. The truth about this fraud was revealed over a series of disclosures culminating on February 13, 2025, when West issued extremely weak 2025 revenue and earnings forecasts. West attributed the disappointing guidance in part to contract manufacturing headwinds, including the loss of two major continuing glucose monitoring customers that had begun transitioning to in-house manufacturing of next-generation devices after West “made the decision to not participate going forward as its financial thresholds cannot be achieved.” West also revealed that its SmartDose wearable injector devices would be “margin-dilutive” in 2025 and that it would be “taking steps to improve [its SmartDose] economics, and all options are on the table.” On this news, West’s stock dropped $123.17 per share, a decline of 38%, to close at $199.11 on February 13, 2025.Reported Earnings • Apr 25First quarter 2025 earnings: Revenues exceed analysts expectations while EPS lags behindFirst quarter 2025 results: EPS: US$1.24 (down from US$1.57 in 1Q 2024).

It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 3.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Reported Earnings • Feb 13Full year 2024 earnings: EPS exceeds analyst expectationsFull year 2024 results: EPS: US$6.75 (down from US$7.99 in FY 2023).

Adjusted EPS for the quarter came in at $2.13, 27% above analyst expectations, and management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $3.295 billion to $3.35 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $8.40 to $8.75. The company is exiting a legacy continuous glucose monitoring contract that is expected to create a $40 million revenue headwind in the second half, while also approving a new $1 billion share repurchase program and buying back 1.2 million shares in Q1. The combination of higher guidance, GLP-1 and biologics demand, and active buybacks reflects a management team leaning into current momentum while also acknowledging a known contract headwind later in the year. For investors, key questions include how durable GLP-1 and biologics-related demand will be and whether the exit from the CGM contract ultimately results in a cleaner long-term portfolio or becomes a drag if replacement revenue does not fully materialize.

お知らせ • May 06Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and Certain of Its ExecutivesLabaton Keller Sucharow LLP announces that, on May 5, 2025, it filed a securities class action lawsuit (Complaint) on behalf of its client the New England Teamsters Pension Fund (New England Teamsters) against West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (Company) and certain West executives (collectively, “Defendants”). The action, which is captioned New England Teamsters Pension Fund v. West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., No. 25-cv-02285 (E.D. Pa.) asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired West common stock between February 16, 2023 and February 12, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). West is a medical supplies company based in Exton, Pennsylvania that operates as a key supplier to firms in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and generic drug industries. The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose that: (a) despite claiming strong visibility into customer demand and attributing headwinds to temporary COVID-related product destocking, West was in fact experiencing significant and ongoing destocking across its high-margin High-Value Products portfolio; (b) West’s SmartDose device, which was purportedly positioned as a high-margin growth product, was highly dilutive to the Company’s profit margins due to operational inefficiencies; (c) these margin pressures created the risk of costly restructuring activities, including the Company’s exit from continuous glucose monitoring contracts with long-standing customers; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. The truth about this fraud was revealed over a series of disclosures culminating on February 13, 2025, when West issued extremely weak 2025 revenue and earnings forecasts. West attributed the disappointing guidance in part to contract manufacturing headwinds, including the loss of two major continuing glucose monitoring customers that had begun transitioning to in-house manufacturing of next-generation devices after West “made the decision to not participate going forward as its financial thresholds cannot be achieved.” West also revealed that its SmartDose wearable injector devices would be “margin-dilutive” in 2025 and that it would be “taking steps to improve [its SmartDose] economics, and all options are on the table.” On this news, West’s stock dropped $123.17 per share, a decline of 38%, to close at $199.11 on February 13, 2025.

New Risk • Feb 14New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 3.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
