Teva Pharma Posts Lower Q4 Earnings, FY23 Outlook Within Expectations

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd's TEVA Q4 sales reached $3.88 billion, shrinking 5% Y/Y, missing the consensus of $3.93 billion.
The decrease is mainly due to lower revenues from generic products and certain respiratory products in North America segment as well as Copaxone, offset by higher revenues from Anda, generic products in the Europe segment, Austedo, and Ajovy.
