Good day in a down market.

[karateboy] 03/3/2017 16:40

Well it is not all that bad! Somebody at close has to pay 6p premium to buy 180000 shares.

[r ball] 03/3/2017 14:31

Yes but it's about generics which Hikma is strong in.

[shardview] 03/3/2017 14:13

That release relates specifically to two pharmna companies, neither of which appears to be hikma? The pharma sector in general is not down.

[r ball] 03/3/2017 13:43

See CMA release this morning for news.

[shardview] 03/3/2017 12:54

Can anyone explain todays drop? A few bits of negative pharma news about, but nothing that seems to impact Hikma. Is it just a case of having risen too far too fast?

[karateboy] 02/3/2017 19:55

If price is right directors should be in agreement. $10b is a reasonable price.

[fez77] 01/3/2017 21:27

Very steady progress. I confess I took some profits to fund other ventures but am regretting it now. Still a holder but at a reduced level. Take over is possible but only I think if Directors are in agreement. Which they might be?

[karateboy] 28/2/2017 08:18

I wonder if a take over is being quietly worked on.

[karateboy] 21/2/2017 18:57

One step at a time. Let's break through £20.60 first then £21.

[fez77] 21/2/2017 15:27

Still looking positive.

Indeed, as happened, and now onwards....................

I will be continuing to hold at present since there is still plenty of potential in my opinion.

[karateboy] 16/2/2017 08:15

I expect £20 threshold to be broken today.

[fez77] 13/2/2017 20:11

No shorting here - just following the Directors faith in the company. Also The Capital Group Companies, have gone above 10% ownership threshold. These are all good signs as is the Easyhaler deal just signed with Orion.

[karateboy] 13/2/2017 10:07

Good news and time to move up.

[shardview] 09/2/2017 17:00

Haha! Is that a deliberate ploy to tempt fate? Have you shorted them? G2theary made a similar comment a couple of weeks back - right before they fell to 1800! Fingers crossed!

[fez77] 09/2/2017 16:37

Nice healthy rise today. Well on course for the 2,000 level!

[r ball] 01/2/2017 05:42

trump statement on big pharm was yesterday's big news.

[coppertrader] 31/1/2017 20:34

[fez77] 30/1/2017 20:40

Yes, I wonder who was selling. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

[shardview] 30/1/2017 16:56

Picked up a few just before close, bit of blind optimism that the sell-off may have run its course. Then 2 massive sales go through after close! Not looking good for the morning. I still think there's value in these, but the magic 2000 seems a way off right now - to think it seemed a certainty just over a week ago. Just hope they don't edge 16/1700.

[fez77] 29/1/2017 22:17

Agreed. Its not a share for widows and orphans!

[mrthomas] 29/1/2017 14:08

thanks for that up date interesting will hold for the next few months see how it goes but this is a roller coaster of a share. Still in the top 100 so that helps as well Most of the brokers have this as a buy as well and given the large take over a year ago should see some good news flow but can never tell with this share. My only share in this sector
