GSK Update yesterday19 Oct 2021 19:14
Note the last paragraph. They need to sort their pipeline r and d for investors to stay interested. Their mc would take a thrashing if they don't pull out some rabbits. New GSK needs new blood and new ongoing products. Also I see the last two printed trades today......fill orders?...
Sharecast News) - Analysts at Berenberg reduced their target price for shares of GlaxoSmithKline from 1,625.0p to 1,540.0p, but stood by their 'buy' recommendation on the shares, pointing out that the company's exit from its Consumer healthcare division was now closer and arguing that the stock remained "fundamentally undervalued".
On the flip side, the pharmaceutical giant's pipeline had not played out as hoped in 2021.
Berenberg also saw stasis on returns from GSK's investments in research and development.
The analysts estimated that the company would generate a return from R&D investment of 6%, which was below its 8% cost of capital and in line with the previous two historical cohorts.
"Time is running out for management to deliver positive pipeline progress. Without Consumer Healthcare from mid-2022, "New GSK" will be increasingly exposed to its pharma R&D fortunes," they added.
So a subtle hint I believe to the Merck situation....and imagine nearly 10% of their mc being lost due to no promising pipeline r and d....
And here were some of the attendees at COP26 today.....lots of networking going on and nudge nudge wink wink we have a few things in our sights...that's my thought only dyor etc
