Biggest thing to watch: margins are the best this company has ever reported. Every ratio looks better at a record, so the story depends on margins staying high. ## What is the GSK share price today? GSK plc's share price was $48.70 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 11 weeks. That is 7.0% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $47 and $60, and at that close it sat 16% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 13 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −10% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 7 August 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does GSK pay? GSK plc declared GBP 0.17 per local share for Jun 2026, and GBP 0.68 over the last four reported quarters. It reports in British pounds, and one US-listed share can stand for several local shares, so we do not set this against the dollar price or show a yield. ## Which stock lists is GSK on? GSK is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is GSK profitable? GSK plc earned GBP 553 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −66.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was GBP 6.3 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 8.2% a year on average. That is 6.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned GBP 1.6 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was GBP 6.3 B (+113.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +5.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.9 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +795.3% and revenue +4.9%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. This company reports in British pounds, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (GBP); nothing is converted. ## How much revenue does GSK make, and is it growing? GSK plc reported GBP 8.4 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +5.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 7.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at GBP 32.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to GBP 33.2 B. FY25 revenue was GBP 32.7 B, +4.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +4.9% on average, against 7.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +5.0%, against +2.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +32.1%, against +10.4% a year (accelerating). This company reports in British pounds, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (GBP); nothing is converted. ## How much of its sales does GSK keep? GSK plc's operating margin was 30.9% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 19.7% and 28.9%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 19.7% and 28.9%, and FY25's 28.9% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.5 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is GSK's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 145% of GSK plc's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in GBP 7.7 B of operating cash against GBP 6.3 B of profit. After GBP 1.3 B of spending on assets, GBP 6.4 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. This company reports in British pounds, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (GBP); nothing is converted. ## Where does GSK's cash go? GSK plc does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent GBP 4.1 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: GBP 4.1 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. This company reports in British pounds, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (GBP); nothing is converted. ## What is GSK's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? GSK plc's P/E is 17.0×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the GSK business getting better or worse? GSK plc's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 25.5%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does GSK earn on its capital? GSK plc earned a ROE of 39% in FY25. That is up from a low of 22% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 19.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 19.3% net margin and 0.53× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 19.3% net margin × 0.53× asset turnover × 3.83× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 39.2% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 24.6% − 5.0% = +19.6 percentage points. The 5.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 24.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 28.5%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does GSK have too much debt? GSK plc has total debt of GBP 18.3 B against shareholder equity of GBP 17.2 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.06× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.13 in FY21 to 1.11 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. This company reports in British pounds, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (GBP); nothing is converted. ## What is the GSK shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for GSK plc, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is GSK from balance-sheet trouble? For GSK plc, the Z-score is 1.98. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.98 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does GSK rank in its industry? 60.2 out of 100, rank 5 of 16 in Drug Manufacturers - General, with 81% of the evidence available. GSK plc scores 60.2 out of 100 against the 16 companies it is compared with in Drug Manufacturers - General, ranking 5. Earnings are strong; relative strength in its sector is -15.7% and the one-year return is 4.4%. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 25 + 19.8 + 14.5 + 0.9 = 60.2. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is GSK compared with? GSK ranks 5 of 16 Drug Manufacturers - General companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 60.2 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

## What else do people ask about GSK? ### What were GSK's latest quarterly results? GSK plc reported revenue of GBP 8.4 B and net profit of GBP 553 M for the Jun 2026 quarter. Revenue rose 5.3% and profit fell 66.4% compared with a year earlier. The operating margin was 30.9%, 0.9 percentage points higher than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is GSK's market cap? GSK plc's market capitalisation is $97.4 B at a stock price of $48.70. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is GSK performing? GSK plc's share price has been moving sideways for 11 weeks. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 5.3% and profit fell 66.4% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, for 13 weeks running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will GSK's stock price go up? This page does not forecast GSK plc's stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $48.70, and it has been moving sideways for 11 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does GSK have too much debt? Yes, GSK plc has a lot of debt: its debt is 1.30× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is GSK in its business cycle? GSK plc's FY25 operating margin was 28.9%, against a 5-year range of 19.7% to 28.9%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 30.9%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the GSK story? Biggest thing to watch: margins are the best this company has ever reported. Every ratio looks better at a record, so the story depends on margins staying high. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is GSK a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: GSK plc's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: the next one or two quarters of results. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
