As mentioned by zho, pre-trial hearings on Zantac claims starts tomorrow which will have a significant bearing on share price action.

halfpenny, Shorters have their teeth into PFC. Keep ramping PFC.

[dplewis1] 18/1/2024 07:49

No short interest declared.. your info is false

[halfpenny] 18/1/2024 07:19

Looks like Shorters have their teeth into GSK.

Be Careful at these levels.

A solid day here in a sea of red in my PF, GSK doing very well, as is HLN since the spin off while they smash their debt down, I continue to hold both..

GSK raises $1.24 bln from latest Haleon stake sale.

GSK sold around 300 million shares in its spun-off unit at a price of 326 pence per share.

[tuftymatt] 17/1/2024 12:34

Yeah I agree it's holding up really well.

If we get a market rally off this start of the year dip I think 1625 is an easy target.

Good luck all 👍🏻

[rikky72] 17/1/2024 12:28

Resilient today amid a wider sell off; let's see what the yanks give us later

And some more from Shore's Sean Conroy:

"Pre-trial hearings on the admissibility of expert testimony are scheduled on 22-25 Jan and should serve as an important indicator as to whether GSK is likely to make further settlements in 2024," Conroy said.

However, he added: "As a reminder, the analogous Daubert hearings in the federal-level multi-district litigation ruled in favour of GSK (and other manufacturers) and resulted in the outright, robust dismissal of all MDL cases given the lack of credible scientific evidence."

Conroy said that a worst-case scenario, in which Zantaz litigation costs GSK a total of $30.0bn, is currently being reflected in the share price. "[We] highlight any further clarity could support a material rerating of share; we have updated our sensitivity analysis and believe there remains a compelling risk-reward profile ahead of further updates on Zantac," he said.

The broker has lifted its target price from 1,850.0p to 2,000.0p and kept a 'buy' rating.

Can't believe UBS didn't already cover GSK. I know Phillips & Drew did.

[dplewis1] 16/1/2024 11:50

GSK - UBS assumes coverage with buy rating and target price of 1860p. Morgan Stanley raises target price to 1730p from 1535p

Shore Capital: GSK discount is ‘unwarranted’
GSK (GSK) continues to trade on an ‘unwarranted’ discount to its peer group as litigation costs ‘disproportionately’ overshadow the pharmaceuticals giant, says Shore Capital.

Analyst Sean Conroy reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation and increased the ‘fair value’ target price from £18.50 to £20.00 on the Citywire Elite Companies AAA-rated stock, which was trading at £15.79 on Monday.

‘We continue to view the current discount to peers as unwarranted and largely attributable to misguided assumptions on the potential cost of Zantac litigation,’ Conroy said.

‘This has disproportionately overshadowed the improved and increasingly attractive growth story we believe GSK delivered in 2023.’

He noted that respiratory virus vaccine Arexvy ‘smashed expectations in its debut quarter’ and said sustaining this momentum in the drug ‘could provide a key source of upgrades in 2024, albeit further uptake of (shingles medication) Shingrix ex-US will be needed to realise these’.

Conroy added that ‘progress across several areas of the pipeline and additional bolt-on deals can also be expected that could further improve sentiment around long-term growth’.

[tradermichael] 11/1/2024 14:04

Yes,14p per share dividend reached my AJ Bell accounts this morning ..... ;0)

[mhrangoon] 11/1/2024 13:29

Yes 14p per share

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 11/1/2024 10:55

#Anhar, indeed, I re-bought my missing 20% post consolidation which my spreadsheet had failed to account for, it is the total costs (less total dividends received) vs the total value of the 2 combined today to give the correct adjusted P/L..

Talking of dividends has anybody received their credit today yet..?

[anhar] 11/1/2024 10:11

MHRANGOON is correct that you have to adjust for the consolidation in order to compare current values with the pre-demerger value. You can't just look at the share prices alone to make a comparison with the pre-demerger value, you need to consider the number of shares involved.

The terms were that pre-demerger GSK holders received 1 HLN for every 1 GSK share held. Following that, GSK shares were consolidated at 4 for 5.

So assume for example you held 1,000 old GSK, then you would now have 1,000 HLN and 800 current GSK.

Using the above figures, the old GSK share price of 1,800p gives a value of £18,000 pre-dem.

With new GSK now at 1,570p the holding is worth £12,560 and HLN £3,370, a total of £15,930 which is a loss of £2,070 or 11.5% on the old GSK value. Clearly then, the combined holding would have to rise to £18,000 just to break even, which could be satisfied by GSK or HLN alone or some combination of the two.

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 11/1/2024 09:50

It was a 1:1 HLN:GSK share allocation then a 20% consolidation after..

I bought my 20% GSK back again to keep my numbers as they were, but great to see the share price recovering well now 12-18 months later from the lows of 1300 after the consolidation..

Next dividend payment due today too so there should be some DRIP buying as they roll in.. :o)
