Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SNY

10/28/2026: SNY (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Sanofi is a leading global healthcare company focused on specialty medicines and vaccines. Its investment story centers on the success of core growth drivers like the immunology drug Dupixent, complemented by a stable, high-barrier-to-entry vaccine franchise. While the firm benefits from strong operational margins and a steady dividend, it faces risks related to patent expirations in its legacy general medicine division and intense competition from GLP-1 drug leaders. Sanofi is generally well-suited for value and income-oriented investors seeking defensive exposure to the pharmaceutical sector. Key developments to monitor include the progress of its R&D pipeline and regulatory changes impacting drug pricing.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SNY receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SNY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+40.5%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 21.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.5%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SNY's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $10.1B (21.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is SNY's strongest growth driver at +72.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+40.5%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+5.5%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 8.0% (soft) and 90.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Dodge & Cox 1.17%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 0.45%
Fisher Asset Management, LLC 0.44%
Bank of America Corp 0.33%
Amvescap Plc. 0.28%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SNY generates approximately $721 of gross profit, $205 of operating income, and $217 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -29.78% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SNY has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
