what happened

AstraZeneca has reportedly cut about 600 jobs in its respiratory and immunology sales teams in the US as part of its cost-saving program. Bloomberg News reported the move on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Reuters, which carried the report, said it could not immediately verify the information.

why it matters

For investors, this signals that the drugmaker is still pushing its cost-savings program, which could support margins over time. The scale is modest for a company of this size, so the impact on the share price is likely to be limited.
