Regarding Catalina Ramirez, her role suggests that ITV is looking to enhance its sales strategy in the Americas, particularly as the media landscape in the U.S. and Latin America evolves. With her background, including experience in international sales and media distribution, her leadership could point to a more aggressive push for ITV’s content in these markets, which are increasingly important for global media companies.

Looks promising!

I hope you're right s/w.

All the possible drawbacks, which probably won't happen, have been priced in already.

We have the first quarter update coming soon so fingers crossed.

As I interpret it, any easing of U.S. tariffs by China could have an indirect impact on GSK. Do correct me if that's not the case.

While the direct impact of the U.S.-China tariff changes on GSK may be limited, the broader trade environment and its effects on market dynamics in China could influence GSK's operations and competitiveness in the region.

I think I'm correct in saying there's already a significant presence in China:

Australian news:

Reports circulating that some large pharmaceutical companies, like AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Johnson & Johnson, and Merck, have been granted exemptions from tariffs on certain drugs they import into China. This means they can bring in their products without paying the usual fees, which could help them maintain their profits.

It's not been verified as yet.

China seems to be easing up on tariffs for certain pharmaceutical products, possibly because it needs these goods and wants to avoid further harm to its economy. However, these exemptions seem to be selective, and not all drugs or companies benefit from them.

I'm not aware of tariff rates in this situation - can anyone give insight?

Ah, another wave of green filter notices - looks like the fantasist trolls are starting to lose it again. Everything’s going exactly as expected, because, you know, nothing moves in a straight line. I’m sure the trolls will be back to their whiskey soon enough to soothe their fragile egos. Have a great weekend, genuine ITV holders, I will.

Previous post, w/t, filtered - oh bliss!

Ahhhh, there we have it, the first green filter pops up - looks like they’re still grasping at straws in their defeat. They really never learn, do they? I’m just thrilled I don’t have to wade through their nonsense anymore. Ah, sweet bliss.

A really nice weekend to enjoy.

I'm seeing no green filtered notices today!!

I wonder if the trolls have all hit the whiskey this morning?

Better news to come? very probably!

'In the trading update, Severfield said it had secured some “attractive large projects” for the financial year to 29 March 2027.'

'More than 624 cases of measles have been confirmed in Texas alone this year (through Tuesday), with around 800 confirmed cases across the country. Twenty-five states so far have seen cases of the disease this year.'

Misinformation is also spreading like wildfire.

ITV could see a return on its investment sooner or with less risk. ITV’s investment in What3words could also align with their broader strategy in technology or media, which could help them stay competitive in areas like digital innovation or geographic data services.

With Trump backtracking all over the place, Today, market wide, should be interesting!

China has had remarkable success in combating the spread of Malaria, largely through a non-vaccine approach.

GSK has developed Mosquirix (in partnership).

Maybe they'd be interested? They wouldn't be bothered by conspiracy theorists, like RJK Jr.

Just saying.

I had a small investment in gold, via Royal Mint, pre pandemic. Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it because I thought the storage and management charges were too high.

Probably the stupidest thing I've done, particularly as it gone up about 800 % since!!
