Risks
1. Changes in Healthcare Laws: Global healthcare regulations, particularly those emanating from the United States, EU, and China, can often have a direct and major impact on Roche’s operations and overall profitability.
2. Competitive Threat: Roche faces a significant competitive threat from other large pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck and Novartis AG.
3. Negative Public Perception: Pharmaceuticals are a sensitive business and negative public perceptions could have an adverse effect on Roche’s reputation and financial performance.
4. Drug Development and Manufacturing Risks: Drug development and manufacturing risk is a significant problem facing the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. Failure to create safe, effective, and marketable drugs could have serious financial repercussions.
5. Economic Volatility: Economic downturns or significant drops in market confidence could have a material impact on Roche’s growth prospects.
