If you look at the FTSE 100 news and bulletins there's not a single mention of lseg falling .... bit weird isn't it.

..JPMORGAN RAISES RIO TINTO PRICE TARGET TO 7,750 (6,940) PENCE - 'OVERWEIGHT'
As the advert says ' that'll do '

OMG, how quickly things change.
Lincolnite, get that fs1 finished and let's have a great summer in the saddle. Given my bike a birthday over the weekend in readiness. GLA

Profits... I fail to understand your question mark re' the article. I think it addresses and concerns AZ and big pharma directly. I'd be interested to hear your opposing view to the all the points raised in the article and why AZ isn't affected today

..hold on for a blue day, will it, will it? Past caring much now ;-)

Hopefully triple again in another 6 years.

Hopefully triple again in another 6 years.

.....especially the economic points on local drug companies preferences.

....It's ex dividend day on the 4th. Expecting a fall obviously but hopefully not the full divi of 4.5%. We'll see in a few hours. GL to all

I see everyone is trying to remain positive but i say again, it's no help at all just saying it'll be AZN turn soon. Please explain to me why ? I would if I could but i can't. I thought, at one stage, it was down because of the £/$ fx but I now can't see this as a ongoing reason. As we know, stocks are generally valued to future earnings so does the market expect lower earnings with which to explain the falling sp here? The $ is expected to gain strength as we gain 'normality' so maybe this will raise sp ? Also, please don't take this as insensitive and mercenary, (I'm just being objective here) there has been many 100's of thousands of elderly passing lately. This affects sales. Ok, it's grim isn't it but I've said it now. Think about it? Chemo costs ~£30K per person. Being an older person I've seen my share of friends passing with C. Please don't snub me as unfeeling.. just trying to understand ' stuff '. Also, this cancer market is seen as very lucrative one so competition is fierce out there. That's what business does. Ok, Probably said enough and getting carried away now...... aren't I? GLA

Rylidan I know the feeling, we all can relate to that. Years ago I used to deal AHT around 600 then sold up everything. Recently back in and doing ok but.....if only I'd held, doh
Anyway, GLA. Oh, and today's news doesn't seem to have hurt the sp, today at least. Have fun

It's heading towards 68xx . No telling where it'll end up. I can't fathom it. It's no good keep wishing and saying it'll go up....I want to know why it will go up? Big company, big profits but..?

Not today folks..... YAWN

Unfortunately, the sp shown on here is completely WRONG ! Actual sp is 6181, down 4.5%. Happens to a lot of sp's on this site. Not great is it.

I see it but like one of the replies says, "typically mines are shut down over winter ". If and when they reopen....they open to do maintenance maybe ? Anyway, mikey, we all want it to be good news so thanks for sharing. Still waiting here. Gla

A while ago somebody said this will go down to 60 and I didn't believe it then but ......

Sounds like a pump if ever I heard one. Good try though. ;-) Just ring 'em up.

Chain. yep, you're right. ....most sensible thing said here today ,jeez

What does the 'Market size' number mean in the company figures? ie, AZN is 300 ? Thanks

Pap, yep, I had a look. AZ flew high compared to ftse. Just can't figure out why it's falling so much for the last few months. Can't see what the company is doing wrong. General sentiment of big pharma maybe? Small cap pharma a bit volatile these days . Better day tomorrow.......? Take care all
