GSK’s and Bayer’s Q3 results (Bloomberg)


In an article in The Telegraph regarding GSK, Novasecta Managing Partner John Rountree commented that, for them, “Brexit is both help and hindrance. Sterling’s weakness gives some short term benefit. However longer-term Brexit creates material uncertainties for regulation, supply chain, packaging and manufacturing, that depending on the eventual EU exit may be very costly.”

 

In terms of Bayer, in an article in Bloomberg, Principal Brian McGee stated that “the story that is being put through by Bayer is, ‘look how great pharma is doing’ and they’ve in some ways underestimated the market sentiment, which is now valuing them as three big businesses. You can’t have two businesses that aren’t exciting, that aren’t doing well, masked by the pharma business, which is doing extremely well.”
