Teva's Growth Momentum

Teva has built a successful generics business by being nimble, aggressive and opportunistic, and is betting heavily that by dominating global markets it can prosper even after the end of the current spate of patent expirations. The success of its innovative drug Copaxone has given it a hedge against the volatility of generics and also changed the company in many ways. While Teva has to balance two very different businesses with limited synergies, it also must come up with a viable successor to Copaxone in order to secure its foothold in proprietary pharmaceuticals while continuing its investment in generics.
