"Excluding the effects of foreign exchange losses on forward contracts in the current period, adjusted basic EPS would have increased by 19%.IFRS basic EPS was 3.4p (H1 2015/16: 13.4p), down 75% on the same period last year, due to the effect of foreign exchange losses on forward contracts and the settlement with the US government in respect of the investigation into the historic marketing of LC Bead(R) ."It would appear that things are trundling along.They're implying that they are now benefitting from FX movements.We're used to Varientha making slow progress,no change there.Good cash flow generation.Unfortunately,it's all rather unexciting but I'm not selling albeit I have no inclination to buy more.

£5?? Perhaps you want to read the RNS again

Without intending to disagree with the few posts above I prefer to wait until the end of the week to assess what the market really thinks. My own view is that this is not all that we hoped for but I think I will hold without much concern. If they do fall to £5 I will add.

The newsletter that suggested last week that buying BTG ahead of the results is now looking a bit foolish.
Selling by disgruntled speculators probably accounts for some of the rout this morning.
That, and the fact that today's results are the first time (as far as I am aware) that BTG have confirmed when the Zytega and Lemtrada royalties end. We all knew it was coming though.
Although it will be painful, a fall to £5 would provide a great opportunity to top-up.

A close today below 610p will be a problem for us.

I did try being the voice of reason, but certain characters are just plain rude!

Goodbye.

The market seems to agree with CT, so far ...

Only because of the fine no doubt.Solid results .


FRS Operating Profit was GBP29.1m (H1 2015/16: GBP44.2m), down 34%. IFRS Operating Profit was down on last year as a result of the one-time charge of GBP28.0m on settlement of the US government investigation into the marketing of LC Bead(R) , and higher intangible asset amortisation of GBP19.9m (H1 2015/16: GBP17.2m), the increase due to the intangible assets acquired with Galil.

Read the report. EPS down 75%!

[bargainbob] 15/11/2016 07:39

Number of physician up greatly , the ramp up to the tipping point. Shocking it is happening faster than I expected.

[bargainbob] 15/11/2016 07:37

Really is posting "Double-digit revenue growth drives strong first half performance"

[fhmktg] 10/11/2016 13:07

Varithena s the best thing since sliced bread

[fhmktg] 10/11/2016 08:50

Just give us some encouraging news on Varithena.....pretty please!!

[fhmktg] 09/11/2016 15:11

Any company able to demonstrate real positive health outcomes AND cost savings will prosper in the new environment.....sounds like our BTG!

[fhmktg] 09/11/2016 15:08

I'm sure that for $10,000 you can have five minutes in the locker room!

If he does, he would doubtless treat the condition with Viagra.

This, from Woodford's latest communication to WPCT shareholders (this morning),says it all:



"Clearly, our significant weighting towards the health care industry has weighed on performance for much of the year, as the market has fretted about the prospect of a Clinton presidency and what that may mean for drug pricing. Now the outcome is known, the prospect of drug pricing legislation is off the agenda. Meanwhile, in California, proposition 61 which would have limited the price of prescription drugs in the State, has been voted down. From a sentiment perspective at least, the news should be positive for this important part of the portfolio."

Here in the USA there is a profound sense of shock at the result on one side: on the other, there are already signs of a vengeful jubilation. I wonder if Trump has Varicose Veins.........

[harijan] 09/11/2016 12:02

See! What did I tell you? No Clinton and BTG shoots up! An obvious relief rally.

No doubt, however, that the usual suspects will, as ever, take advantage of all the disruption and push it down again. But it won't be 'Varithena' that causes it.

[gregmorg] 09/11/2016 08:31

Now, about Clinton!

[fhmktg] 08/11/2016 16:35

Give over!At 2pm Shire,AZN and GSK ALL took a dive!
