Showing welcome strength this morning.

It's not really news. This is what they do. What is news is a brand new generic...

[r ball] 28/3/2018 20:36

Read across. Sector recovering

[bantam175] 21/3/2018 14:56

They also rate hikma as undervalued.

[bantam175] 21/3/2018 14:52

Anyone know just how good this news is?

[r ball] 15/3/2018 19:14

Yes but the fundamentals have changed since then. Look at Teva too

[cumnor] 15/3/2018 16:22

Pleased for HIk holders-quite a few shorts crucified since yesterday. Works both ways.

[bantam175] 15/3/2018 16:18

Less than 12 months back one target was £30+.

With a new captain at the helm who knows where we'll end up.

Look what Rose did at M&S.

[isstaaz] 15/3/2018 15:51

The reason this is flying is that Citigroup upgrades to buy with target of 1,250p. I don't think the top will be called yet

[nickg100] 15/3/2018 10:04

They'll call the top by lunch time if they don't slow down lol Excellent few days. Impressed :-)

[r ball] 15/3/2018 08:43

Hmm. I think the bottom has been called.

[nickg100] 15/3/2018 08:40

Wow! HIK are on fire! - Where and when will the old girl stop going north? Great to see this turnaround.

A dog having its day.
Yippee!

Shorts are scrambling for exit.

[eastbourne1982] 14/3/2018 22:32

Unless the pharma sector is dead and buried this will get a takeover bid within the next 6 - 12 months.

Show me another pharma company doing the kind of cash flow Hikma is with a valuation of just over 2 billion.

[rafieh] 14/3/2018 13:30

You may not need to wait that long.?

[r ball] 14/3/2018 12:53

Give it a year to recover

[gerrym two] 14/3/2018 11:21

Sold at 970 and was very happy too....thought it could have went the other way ! What's the views on direction from 947....should stabilise ?? GLA

[nav_mike] 14/3/2018 10:09

At the end of the day a lot of calculations and valuations will need to be re-done in light of the impairment charge, but there are also fundamental strengths in the business which are now apparent

Happy to let the dust settle for a while and see some further analysis.

There is potentially a nice short term double bottom being formed. I had 985 as an important resistence level, so was happy enough to sell for in excess of that

Edit : Just seen that there was an analysts call at 9:30 and since then the price has come off....maybe it did get too frothy all in one go

[mj19] 14/3/2018 09:55

So market going up on what if

[eastbourne1982] 14/3/2018 09:37

Cash flow here is massive relative to the market cap (for a pharma).

Long term this will be a lot higher than £10 or it will get taken over.

Even in a tough year debt was reduced significantly.

Short term who knows what will happen here however if these go anywhere near £9 again I will be adding.

[nav_mike] 14/3/2018 09:29

Closed out and took profits (probably too soon) but was happy with 858 to 1003 in a couple of weeks.

Dont often see a FTSE stock up 15% in a day so decided on caution

Looking at SETS though, it could go higher still today so good luck to all holders.

[fhmktg] 14/3/2018 08:57

Cash is king, all the rest is balance sheet management.

[nav_mike] 14/3/2018 08:41

Easier to be taken over as per the weekend Telegraph article?
