SPECIAL REPORT #31

Top 20 Pharmaceutical Companies by Market Cap.

GlobalData, a London-based data provider to large industries, issued a report where it lists the new top 20 pharma companies by market capitalisation as of March 31, 2019.

The two major events in this list are:

• the emergence of Takeda in #16 position (#23 position in Q42018) following its $62 billion acquisition of Shire
• the disappearance of Biogen (now at $41 billion market cap) after the failure of aducanumab as a potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

The list includes ten US based companies with Johnson & Johnson leading the pack, eight European based companies with Roche slightly ahead of Novartis, CSL an Australian company and Takeda a Japanese company.

This Q1 2019 ranking will be profoundly modified following the complete integration of Celgene, currently #18 into Bristol-Myers Squibb and Allergan, #20 into AbbVie by year end and thus open the door to new entries.
