That's 28000 pints for me then. Really need to exit this share and into something else.
Buy 3 pints per share.
What could we all do with £20 a share for our GSK? I shall try not to think about it until it happens!
Thanks for that .no wonder I couldn’t find it. :-).
GSK is a potential buyout candidate for Novartis - Intron Health”
GSK (NYSE:GSK) could be a potential buyout target for Novartis (NYSE:NVS) (OTCPK:NVSEF) as the Swiss pharma company is eyeing a large acquisition, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing Intron Health, an Equity Research firm based in London.
The analyst Naresh Chouhan argues that a potential combination with GSK (GSK) will enable Novartis (NVS) to re-enter the vaccine market and virology in a bid to diversify its business away from the competitive and risky oncology.
In 2015, Novartis (NVS) divested its global vaccine business (excluding influenza vaccines) to GSK (GSK), then known as GlaxoSmithKline, after a $5.25B deal.
Even with a 40% premium, the analyst projects that such a deal could be over 40% accretive after three years, assuming $2B synergies and a 6% cost of debt. A cash-based deal will lower proforma net debt to 2.4x EBITDA by 2025.
The analyst notes that the “temporary mispricing” of GSK (GSK) stock due to financial overhang from Zantac claims has paved the way for an “opportunistic” acquisition.

Source please. I couldn’t find any news.
First-ever supply of a malaria vaccine, with a value of up to $170m over 3 years potentially saving thousands of lives each year. Nice one.

Gsk has been held back for decades due to high divi, just like RDS & BP compared to US counterparts
I have bought and sold these for over 20 years. Made a bit of a profit each time. Now I am only in for the dividend. Looking at a few of my other favourites, I could have been in and out several times with a decent profit in the time I have held these.
Think it's time to exit GSK after 5 years. Been a dog compared to other major pharmas.....divi has kept me here, the SP sure hasn't !!!
Getting out of theoretical gene therapy treatment returning to practical antibiotics seems a good move.
....coming from GSK these days?
Its a fast slow pace now .....to ex dividend date...atb
SP moving up slowly, then may well pick up a pace.

Sack the CEO, the buck stops there !!
I have much larger holdings of big companies in my portfolio. PepsiCo is 12% legal and general 10% rio tinto 10% realty income 9% . Quite comfortable with this . The more risky high growth potential stuff is all 3% or so.

One company should only make ~3% of a portfolio, so why do people get so aggrieved?
Well that's a lot of bollards. What if your portfolio only totals £10,000 or less as I'm sure many do? And if you have a large portfolio, having 30+ holdings risks being a tracker unless you know what you are doing, and many don't. GSK makes up 4% of mine give or take, but LGEN makes up 7% and LLOY 6%, (though that is temporary). I am a buy and holder and hate selling. At least GSK pays a div, though the board really needs their ****s kicked. Where has Eliot gone?
"One company should only make ~3% of a portfolio, so why do people get so aggrieved?"
Thought Buffet recommended opposite - few firms but go in big and stay with it!
It's in good value territory.
Based on the discounted dividend model above, over the next 12 months:
https://www.ukdividendstocks.com/blog/is-gsk-a-good-choice-for-dividend-investors
"I would be happy to buy GSK if its share price moved significantly closer to £9
I would sell GSK if its share price moved significantly closer £17
If I already owned GSK, I would be happy to hold at its current price of £13.80 "
13:80 is not bad, if it falls top up.
As Buffet says, when "When I buy, I hope it goes down so I can buy more!"
