GSK is now a sad case and heading for emergency treatment to survive. The employees will be hit as redundancies take place. GSK Dead Cat Bounce - so now reality kicks in. The Risk is now very high until the court case which will probably continue as lawyers get paid either way from the free publicity they have. I will wait as these claims tend to continue for a while. Just like BP that cost Billions!!! How much lower next week and beyond some charts indicate 800 support or lower…!!! How can they prove that a molecule was not causing cancer!!! Mission impossible send in Tom C.

Spyder there are similar cases against blood pressure medicines causing NDMA and cancers similar to the Zantac case too. It makes the price move look outside of what would be expected and therefore potentially pose an opportunity.

Looking at the AZN Annual report, there are SIX pages of ongoing legal proceedings, including a MDL class action relating to Nexium and Losec/Prilosec with kidney injuries and gastric cancer - not dissimilar to the Zantac case albeit not as big (yet!).

Paul Elliot I think bought £3bln of Glaxo. It would be interesting whether he still holds that amount. I was wondering whether this move was partly a push on holders who followed Paul Elliot in to try and call stop losses. As you said Spyder the move does not match. I am riding my luck as I exited before all this and was looking for a point to buy before this blew up, so happy to buy back in.

Berny - not sure about that. IMO the split was pure financial engineering to try and make money. I expect to see Novartis next as it spins off Sandoz, its generic arm.

Alphorn; Haleon, I am not too sure about and am cautious. Unilever offered the high price due to the savings it could make in production and distribution and also the inflation/recession factor was not truly in the mix. So to base a comparison value to that offer I don't think is too relevant.

What I noticed was the lack of r&d and promotional spend in the brands in Haleon. That would concern me that their market share is potentially eroding without significant uplift in spend and their pricing ability is weak in this market. Any uplift in promotional spend would reduce near term margins and lower the overall value. GSK I think is a stronger opportunity and maybe a reason why they spun the consumer brands off. Perhaps they had taken as much as they could and it was needing investment which would of hit R&D in the pharm.

Berny - some good thoughts. My input to your post fwiw:
- Shringrix has long IPP which is a positive.
- Haleon has regular cash flow to finance that debt so reasonable financial engineering to allocate it to Haleon.
- GSK will likely start borrowing again to buy in new leads which is almost inevitable.
- It is not yet known how (new) GSK will repatriate the large US profit stream to pay its dividends. Will this be borrowed? Will have to wait for the first financials.

(My positions were closed prior de-merger. Expect to open new bullish positions in the next few weeks).

Serious investors are long term investors.
The wealth generated by GSK over the next 5,10,20 years is what matters.

By luck I sold out of my holding pre split and have through three tranches reinvested the funds over the end of last week. i do not think I can predict what will happen in the short term, how it will open Monday etc.., but I do think their is value over the longer term. I have laid out some of the things I have gathered which may or may not assist to the group discussion.

Dividend due in October is 1.12%
Dividend guided for 6 mnths 2022 is 1.51%
Dividend guided for 12mnths 2023 is 3.1%

An interesting development is the approval of Shingrix in China. GSK is the only provider of a shingles vaccine in China and the potential for growth is huge imo. I copy below a section

"According to this market research, since the Shingles Vaccine entered the Chinese market in 2020, its annual sales value reached CNY19 million(US$2.85 million), and its annual sales volume reached nearly 12,000 doses. Therefore, the development prospects are quite good.

According to the analysis, from 2022 to 2031, as Shingles Vaccine market expands, its sales will continue to grow. Compared with Merck's Zostavax, SHINGRIX has better preventive effects and faster replacement velocity. Therefore, as the market share of Shingles Vaccine will gradually increase, and sales and sales volume will also increase."

Glaxo has a market cap of around £58bln. It has had a significant balance sheet strengthening by taking on the £10bln cash from Haleon.

Reviewing the data available on Zantac, this is an extremely complex case and it is worth looking at the legal process. Comparing it to Bayer and Glyphosate, BP or Tobacco is comparing apples with bananas. It is very different imo.

Firstly what is the claim

"A Zantac lawsuit is a legal claim filed by people who took Zantac and ranitidine contaminated with NDMA and later developed cancer. People filing Zantac lawsuits are seeking compensation from the drug's manufacturers for bladder, stomach, esophageal, liver and pancreatic cancer potentially caused by NDMA exposure."

Two areas of law Actus reus (Guilty act) and Mens Rea (Guilty mind)

What is the guilty act "Zantac causes cancer"
What is the guilty mind the sellers/distributors should have known "Zantac causes cancer"

Zantac causes cancer is based around the claim Zantac increases the NDMA exposure to a level that causes cancer in its own right. The issue here is NDMA is everywhere. I have added a random google search link discussing NDMA levels and the department of health of Minnesota.



This discusses the level of NDMA in drinking water caused by disinfectant. It notes "NDMA can also be found in many processed foods and beverages such as whiskey, beer, cured meats, bacon, and cheeses. Levels of NDMA in these foods are typically much higher than levels of NDMA found in treated drinking water."

As America alone has very high processed foods. There have been many studies on food, its preparation and the rise of NDMA intake and cancer.

this is one article but there are several available.



Due to peoples intake of NDMA being heightened by treated drinking water, smoking, poor diet or even high processed food diet, high fruit diet where there is a lot of nitrates in the food due to production methods, alcohol consumption. I think to discover a definitive direct link that Zantac intake causes is a high bar to achieve legally.

Secondly to then take that and apply that companies should have known and had a "guilty mind" in distribution and selling again is a very high bar.

I think this is a great area of discussion and would be interested in others opinions.

Perfect market theory...it is always in the current price.
There is no such thing as an undervalued or overvalued share.
We all have the same information...collective wisdom/stupidity.

All we know for sure, is that the US has all the details and they were the last ones to close ... At that point GSK was up...
So, without knowing anything else, one must assume, 55:45% that GSK is heading up (eg the US is nearly always ahead of the curve, not behind the curve)

The pound shop do crystal balls net.

Or become a chartist and, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, the charts tell you the future price. It's why all traders are billionaires and, as we see on advfn daily, they all make correct calls all the time.

The way i see it.

Litigation is always on-going with big pharma. Whe big money wants to make a quick few hundreds of mill, they sell (by one of several means, either selling, shorting writing options, cfding) on a very large scale at little risk of loss (if they are covered, as they likely are). They tell their mates in other institutions, who do the same.

Then they put out sell notes, phone their press mates and spread doom and gloom at quiet times. It matters not one jot if a court case has been ongoing for several years, they'll put out stories as if it's something new and unusual.

A few days/weeks later they'll all reverse, and some time later put out buyish notes, saying things aren't as bad as they first thought.

Such actions break chinese walls - as if the city bunch are bothered about that, knowing prosecutions are as rare as hens' teeth

Kid punters who try to follow will be too late, the pros are one step ahead.

Matters not one hot what pis do, it's all down to what the big boys do. While that is unknown, you can have a pretty good guess what happens next after a big drop on fear.

The risk of gsk paying out several billion in tens of years time is miniscule relative to the risk of punters shorting at the moment, in my view. but each to their own.

Damage is done and arguments on both sides (which clearly favour Glaxo) but that is irrelevant, given the small risk of GSK having to pay out the equivalent of it's mrkt cap if it loses, or a portion to settle-this will be shunned by serious investors and shorted by hedgies on every rise. While this seems unfair to GSK the US legal system is unpredictable and extremely costly-esp with class action juries in the mix and the costs of having to defend itself in several countries it is hard to put a price on it. Maybe 8-10 pounds until the dust settles. Too many other high yielders around seeking money.

Free market capitalism and democracy is being crushed by greed, corruption, protectionism and a shambolic legal system.

The democratic electoral system, legal systems and markets of leading so called 'free' counties are broken.
There will be a shift to the left again, socialism will emerge and we shall all be worse off.

Capitalism has had a good run, also democracy, but it has been corrupted.

well assuming that you mean that you CAN draw a distinction between the two I would say it's irrelevant - it's the fact the litigation exists and potentially on a multi-country level as well. I won't say any more as I don't own these, I am interested in doing so, but not at this level. Here's the Sunday Times today - a very clear warning at the end. Uncertainty is negative when it comes to shares but can also provide opportunity, we all know that, it's just finding the right price to pay for that...
