Emma's got to dig deep for the cash balance of today's deals. Trouble is, there's still the Novartis bill to pay!

I assume the Tesaro deal was contingent on the Unilever deal going through.

In one hand, out the other …. no time lost there!

[abdullla] 03/12/2018 12:43

Sorry TESARO not Pfizer,what a mistakea the Makea.

Here is the reason:

Shares of Tesaro Inc. TSRO, +59.55% shot up over 58% in premarket trade Monday, after the biopharmaceutical company agreed to be acquired by GlaxoSmithKline PLC GSK, -4.30% for $5.1 billion in cash. Glaxo's stock fell 3.3% ahead of the open. Under terms of the deal, Glaxo will pay $75 in cash for each Tesaro share outstanding, a 62% premium to Friday's closing price. Glaxo said it expects the deal to add to adjusted earnings per share by 2022, but will impact adjusted EPS for the first two years by "mid-to-high single-digit percentages."

I suppose stops any dividend increase or special payout, she has spent the money, lol.

No inside info (lol Tim), just spend a lot of time researching this one. (Nice when the plan comes together!)

Looks like the market expected a higher price on the Horlicks deal, though:

Unilever has won its bid to snap up GSK's malted milk drink Horlicks, after announcing a deal to buy the brand as well as Glaxo's entire health drinks portfolio in Asia for £3.1bn.
The part-cash, part-shares deal will free up funds for GSK to spend on its pharmaceutical business, where it has been busy boosting its pipeline of drugs.
Horlicks is sold in India through GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK India), a listed company in which GSK owns a 72.5pc stake.

TraderMichael I see what you mean here's hoping.

[tradermichael] 03/12/2018 11:00

Still happy to trade the swings and scoop the dividends ;0)

[tradermichael] 03/12/2018 10:21

A permanent move to above 1750p would be the start of the big one. I'd like to see 2000p here ….. ;0)

[abdullla] 03/12/2018 10:12

The only big one is going to be GSK buying Pfizer not the other way around.

[billionairepaddy] 03/12/2018 10:05

hard to beat a female c e o

[spcecks] 03/12/2018 09:55

TraderMichael what do you mean for the big one.

[tradermichael] 03/12/2018 09:20

OUT, 3970 shares @ 1634p. Will keep cash in reserve for re-entry after a drop.

Keeping a much larger amount for the big one …… ;0)

[jadeticl3] 03/12/2018 09:07

Should we be celebrating this rise in share price with a glass of Horlicks? Or is the buy out rumour still alive?

[spoole5] 03/12/2018 08:31

Awesome looking chart here now

[spcecks] 01/12/2018 14:01

Thanks Tim hope we stay above the £16.

[tim 3] 01/12/2018 12:39

Closed only slightly up in the us but near the high of the day.Some massive trades (here ) late afternoon volume looks correct.

[spcecks] 01/12/2018 11:47

What price did they close at in the States.

[abdullla] 01/12/2018 10:57

Volume currently on ADVFN shows 2.3 Billion shares traded,that is not possible is it?

[tim 3] 01/12/2018 09:37

Looks like the after hours spike was replicated in the states and the shares continued to rise later in the day.
