0837 GMT - GSK needs to convince investors of a sustainable vaccine outlook after it cut the 2025 sales target of its jabs, Shore Capital analyst Sean Conroy says. The British pharma company now guides for a low single-digit decrease in vaccine sales for this year after a slowdown in the U.S., notably for its RSV shot Arexvy that missed consensus estimates by 18%, the analyst says. "Some tangible evidence the transient challenges facing Shingrix [shingles vaccine] and Arexvy can be navigated will likely be needed to reinstill the conviction in management's longer-term expectations for these," he says in a note. Shares are up 5.7% at 1,458.50 pence. (helena.smolak@wsj.com)
