Company Highlights

StrengthsRisks

AstraZeneca plc is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology firm headquartered at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in Cambridge, UK. The company boasts a diverse portfolio of products aimed at treating major diseases in areas such as oncology, cardiovascular health, gastrointestinal issues, infections, neuroscience, respiratory conditions, and inflammation.

Founded in 1999 through the merger of Swedish Astra AB and British Zeneca Group, it includes offerings for both primary and specialty care, coverage for rare diseases, and maintains a strong global presence across various regions. Since the merger, AstraZeneca has consistently ranked among the largest pharmaceutical companies worldwide and has executed numerous corporate acquisitions, such as Cambridge Antibody Technology, MedImmune, Spirogen, and Definiens. Its research and development efforts are concentrated in three strategic centers: Cambridge in the UK, Gothenburg in Sweden, and Gaithersburg in Maryland, US.

AstraZeneca’s corporate lineage can be traced back to 1913, when Astra AB was established by a significant group of physicians and pharmacists in Södertälje. Throughout the 20th century, Astra AB evolved into Sweden's largest pharmaceutical company. Its British counterpart, Zeneca PLC, was created in 1993 when ICI divested its pharmaceuticals division; six years later, Astra AB and Zeneca PLC merged, designating the United Kingdom as the headquarters.

AstraZeneca's primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange, where it is part of the FTSE 100 Index, alongside a secondary listing on Nasdaq Stockholm. It is also traded on the American Nasdaq and is included in the Nasdaq-100 index. AstraZeneca ranks among the pharmaceutical companies globally with one of the highest market capitalizations.
