Nothing hidden about this, though: Total operating profit was GBP1,902 million in Q4 2019 compared with GBP1,554 million in Q4 2018.

TM,sounds like a profit warning hidden in the results,sorry to say but it looks we are now stuck.

Bu££er - I was just about to short again at 1840 - but missed it

[sicker] 05/2/2020 12:25

I for one am disappointed at the market reaction :-)

[abdullla] 05/2/2020 12:16

At least one could say that there was NO leak,now in red.

[abdullla] 05/2/2020 12:13

Good results but not supported by falling share price

[nik rosa] 05/2/2020 11:24

...announcement... (and me a former English teacher!!)

[nik rosa] 05/2/2020 11:23

Lets hope there has been a leak. That would bode well for the annoucement at 12.00

[digitaria] 05/2/2020 11:18

Just blind optimism?!

[tradermichael] 05/2/2020 11:17

+20 points in an hour …. has there been a leak? ……;0)

Vaccines giant GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Monday it would donate a vaccine-booster to groups racing to develop a shot against the new coronavirus.
Glaxo has developed a so-called adjuvant, which it uses in its seasonal flu shot, that can make a vaccine more effective, meaning that smaller doses are needed to achieve immunity.
Glaxo is working with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Norwegian nonprofit that is funding several of the groups trying to develop a new vaccine.
One of those groups, the University of Queensland, said it will use the Glaxo adjuvant as it develops its candidate vaccine.
CEPI Chief Executive Richard Hatchett said Glaxo's contribution has the potential to make more vaccine available more rapidly, by making a given supply of vaccine go farther and increasing the number of people who can benefit.

The libertarian financial website Zero Hedge was permanently suspended from Twitter on Friday after it published an article questioning the involvement of a Chinese scientist in the outbreak of the deadly novel coronavirus.

Moderna Therapeutics and Inovio Pharmaceuticals are among the companies turning their focus to the emerging virus, called 2019-nCoV. Each has received millions in funding from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, a global organization that has set an audacious goal: to have a vaccine ready for human testing, a process that traditionally takes years, in just 16 weeks.

GSK confirmed that it has no active coronavirus programs, although it said it's monitoring the situation closely. Sanofi, which is partnered with the Coalition for Innovations in Preparation for Epidemics, also said it's following developments.
Merck has taken an initial step to form a team of scientists to "assess internal assets for potential antiviral activity toward the Wuhan coronavirus and related viruses," a spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Pfizer did not return a request for comment.

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson is working to develop a vaccine for the emergent coronavirus identified last month in Wuhan, China, launching initial efforts to construct from the virus' genetic sequence a candidate that could be tested in humans.
"We have mobilized — internal and external — already dozens of scientists who are working on this," Paul Stoffels, J&J's chief scientific officer, said on CNBC Monday. "We are pretty confident that we can get something made which will work and which will stay active for the longer term."
J&J is the largest drugmaker to announce a vaccine development program for the virus, which has rapidly spread across China and to at least a dozen other countries. Importantly, J&J has the manufacturing capacity to produce a vaccine at scale, should its scientists hit upon a construct that appears effective.

That's because there is nothing to say....

It will take at least 9-12 months for them to get anything worth talking about.

[abdullla] 31/1/2020 15:46

None of the big pharmas have said a word about the Coronavirus,strange.

[abdullla] 31/1/2020 13:09

People panic when there is an outbreak which has no cure for it,like fighting an enemy you can not see,Chinese are more prone to deadly diseases because they eat those animals which carry the viruses.

[rogerrail] 31/1/2020 12:42

My take fwiw is there are hundred's of 1000's infected in China that are not reported. Hence the actual death rate is miniscule and probably no more than a flu outbreak in the uk in % terms. This had been massively overblown by the press as well as the far east cultural reaction to virus outbreaks.

[dr biotech] 31/1/2020 12:28

Plenty of conspiracy theories about, but little evidence. If the virus was man made it would be apparent in its genetic code which the Chinese have already released. Also if it was a bio weapon that had escaped it’s rubbish. You would want something that was deadly and harder to spread, rather than easy to spread and relatively benign, which this one is.

Rumours this started in November, thought they could control, but obviously can't.
