Mixed Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

West Pharmaceutical Services reported first-quarter 2025 net sales of $698.0 million, up 0.4%, but adjusted-diluted EPS fell to $1.45 from $1.56 a year earlier. The company raised its full-year 2025 net sales and adjusted-diluted EPS guidance and declared a third-quarter dividend of $0.21 per share, so shareholders see higher expected results for the year alongside weaker first-quarter profit.
