Description: GSK GlaxoSmithKline

GSK plc is a UK-headquartered global pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures, and commercializes vaccines, specialty medicines, and general medicines across the UK, the US, and international markets. The company operates through two segments: Commercial Operations and Total R&D, a structure that separates its sales and distribution activities from its drug discovery and development pipeline. Founded in 1715 and originally known as GlaxoSmithKline before rebranding to GSK in May 2022, it is among the longest-established players in the global pharmaceuticals industry.

Its portfolio spans specialty medicines in oncology, respiratory/immunology, and inflammation (including treatments for HIV, lupus, ovarian, and endometrial cancer); a broad vaccines franchise covering shingles, meningitis, RSV, influenza, hepatitis, HPV, and others; and general medicines addressing asthma, COPD, allergic rhinitis, and inflammatory skin conditions. As a large-cap health care company in the GICS Pharmaceuticals sub-industry, GSK competes in a sector characterized by long product development cycles, heavy R&D expenditure, and revenue dependence on patent-protected molecules and vaccine contracts. The company also pursues external innovation through partnerships, including an mRNA vaccine collaboration with CureVac and a TB therapy alliance with AN2 Therapeutics.
