full-year 2025 net sales guidance to a range of $3.060 billion to $3.070 billion, up from the previous range of $3.040 billion to $3.060 billion.

The company's growth in HVP Components, driven by products like Westar® and Envision®, highlights its ability to capitalize on high-demand areas within the pharmaceutical industry. This performance not only strengthens West's financial outlook but also enhances its competitive edge in the injectable solutions market. Investors and stakeholders may view this as a positive indicator of the company's future profitability and market share expansion.

West Pharmaceutical Services plans to continue leveraging its strengths in proprietary products and contract manufacturing to sustain growth. The company has introduced its fourth-quarter 2025 net sales guidance range of $790 million to $800 million, with anticipated net sales growth between 5.5% and 6.8%. The ongoing focus on expanding its HVP Components and delivery devices could further bolster its market position. Additionally, the company’s strategic investments and share repurchase program may continue to enhance shareholder value.
