Historical source-based research. Compilation date and financial period are different dates.

Executive summary

Annual revenue of not available and net income of USD 13.967 billion for the period ended 2025-12-31. This is a structured data brief from filed financial statements, not an independently audited investment opinion.

Business and industry context

NOVARTIS AG is an SEC-reporting issuer listed on NYSE under NVS. Its SEC industry description is Pharmaceutical Preparations. This profile organizes annual financial disclosures for research; sector labels are editorial groupings, not GICS classifications. Drug developers, device manufacturers and care providers depend on distinct clinical, reimbursement and operating economics.

Financial evidence

The selected fiscal period runs from 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31. Revenue was not available; operating income was USD 17.644 billion; diluted EPS was USD 7.15 per share. Prior-period revenue was not available. The reported revenue change was not available. Comparisons are not adjusted for acquisitions, disposals, foreign exchange or fiscal-week differences.

Profitability and cash generation

Net margin, calculated as net income divided by revenue, was not available. Operating cash flow was USD 19.144 billion; capital expenditure was not available. Free cash flow (operating cash flow less purchases of property, plant and equipment) was not available. Missing standard tags are not interpreted as zero. These measures may not be directly comparable between business models.

Balance-sheet context

Total assets were USD 110.949 billion, total liabilities USD 64.400 billion and reported shareholder equity USD 46.130 billion at the period end. Total liabilities include operating obligations and are not a measure of interest-bearing debt.

Valuation context

Company profiles show eligible dated valuation ratios using the September 17, 2026 price snapshot and selected annual accounting denominators. Capitalization-based measures use estimates and are identified as such. These are not live, TTM or forward values. A historical-multiple series and EV/EBITDA are not available. Sector medians describe a selected sample; they do not establish fair value or expected returns.

Risks and uncertainties

Patent expiry, trial outcomes, reimbursement changes, litigation and acquisition integration. Standardized XBRL can omit custom-tag disclosures. Annual data cannot establish the direction of the latest quarter.

What to monitor

Product concentration, research investment, utilization, reimbursement and cash generation. Read subsequent quarterly filings, footnotes and accounting-policy changes before interpreting these historical observations.
