plastic Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Upside has to be minimal if everyone is singing the same hymn in harmony. Its like, how can they sell everyone CSL when there are only 453m shares on issue for a $61bn company which is still making daily buys of its own shares? Transaction coming up soon. Equity swap will be the currency is my guess. CSL will be back to single digits afterwards I would say. Say, wasn't David Baltimore involved with CSL? He's also involved with AMGN who are all over Au. biotech like a pox. Can we say CSL to buy AMGN? More likely to be GILD and MRK aligned IMHO. Will be a buy then if there is any more upside to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksheep Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 SP up slightly - currently $127.33/share. Shorts are up slightly also. Flu season in full swing here and large shipments of vaccines already dispatched overseas (US). Lower AUD$ might translate into increased profitability. Morgan Stanley rates CSL as Equal-weight and has a target of $122.00. CSL due to announce it's FY 2017 results tomorrow - could be interesting. The broker expects solid 11% growth in earnings per share in FY18 but notes cash flow consumption is rising. Equal-weight rating and In-Line industry view are retained. Target is $122.

blacksheep Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Market not too impressed with the results - a reported net profit of $US1.34 billion? Apparently market expectations was for a profit of $US1.37 billion. Reaction could also be towards the news they intend to raise new debt? Full year dividend of $US1.38 per share is up 8 per cent and is being paid out of earnings per share of $US3.13, up 26 per cent at constant currencies. The company has completed 91 per cent of a $500 million share buyback and intends to raise $US600 million in new debt capital via private placement this year. http://www.theage.com.au/business/markets-...815-gxx2gw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Won't be long until CSL pushes through $150. ...and no reason to stop there; it's been on the buying lists of quite a few fund managers. (nobody ever got fired buying CSL?) The weak USD may slow the buying, but thereagain may help in its attractiveness, assuming $ weakness is temporary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
