I have to admit, i am really a little surprised we have drifted back to almost our old stomping ground and not a little frustrated.
Whilst we dont have the commercial deal signed yet, the biggest risk was poor results. Therefore I would of expected us to rerate in this "inbetween phase to 0.1+. If the results were poor we would probably have bombed back to 0.05 or therabouts.
Given the involvement of Chris (if you had to name a deal maker in pharma - who would you put ahead of him) Evans, the Saudi wealth fund, and a government desperate to fix covid and kiss saudi a***'s then surely this is a perfect storm isnt it?
Evan's finds a stalking horse (who know they wont win but get to grind AZ)to gain a rival bidder, AZ buyback the drug at astronomical deal to save embarrassment of the wonder drug not being theirs and for the positive PR, UK government grants its emergency use, and literally everyone - everyone is a winner! (but us especially ;)
I would normally say that the above is far-fetched but not with the people involved here. Saudis will get what they want (unless its a football club...)
