AstraZeneca has built its leading presence in the pharma and biotech industry on patent-protected drugs and a developing pipeline that add up to a wide moat. The strong replenishment of new drugs sets up solid long-term growth.
The company is expanding its oncology presence with several important pipeline products. In particular, the company's EGFR drug Tagrisso looks well positioned to drive major cash flows over the next decade.
The company's strong entrenchment in respiratory disease could cause challenges, as pricing power in this market tends to be weak.
