Sanofi Expects High Single-Digit Sales Growth in 2025

Sanofi reported a 10.1% increase in net sales at constant exchange rates in Q2, with Dupixent sales reaching EUR 3.8 billion, up 21%. The company's strategic acquisitions and commitment to sustainability have been recognized globally, with TIME ranking Sanofi as the world's 10th most sustainable company. Sanofi anticipates a decline in flu vaccine sales and mixed Phase III results for itepekimab in COPD.

Comstock Resources (NYSE: CRK) has revised its production guidance for 2025, expecting a 6% decline despite maintaining its capital expenditure (capex) budget. This adjustment has led to an estimated $150 million in full-year cash burn, which could increase its debt to around $3.1 billion. The company continues to de-risk its Western Haynesville acreage while also exploring non-core asset sales to deleverage.

The second quarter of 2025 saw higher natural gas prices driving improved financial results, with natural gas and oil sales reaching $344 million. However, weaker realized prices and slightly higher capex contributed to a $79 million free cash deficit during the quarter. The company expects to average around 1,294 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMCFE) during the second half of 2025, a 3% increase from the first half.

Despite the production decline, Comstock Resources remains optimistic about its long-term prospects. The company's debt remains manageable, and it expects to generate positive free cash flow in 2026, potentially lowering its leverage ratio. However, the company's stock valuation has been reduced from $14.50 to $13.50 per share due to weaker near-term strip prices and downward production guidance.
