United Auto Workers members on strike picket outside General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in Detroit with Sen. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, far left, Sept. 25, 2019. "However, with current inventories hovering around only 55 days, the industry looks different than it did during the last UAW strike." The automaker said the strike cost it about $3.6 billion that year in earnings. He said the union has no plans to extend the current contracts to allow for bargaining to continue without a strike, which was previously common practice. AEG's estimates do not include UAW strike pay or assessments for strike pay, unemployment benefits or unemployment taxes, income taxes on wages and other potential effects such as settlement bonuses.

The leader of the United Auto Workers on Tuesday adamantly defended lofty demands for the union's members who work for the Detroit automakers, while calling recent contract proposals from Stellantis "trash." Fain laid out reported changes to the contract involving holiday and vacation days, absenteeism, 401(k) contributions, profit-sharing payments and other proposals that he described as "concessionary." "Stellantis' proposals are a slap in the face. Contract talks between the union and automakers usually begin in earnest in July ahead of mid-September expirations of the previous four-year agreements. Fain also criticized Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares for not meeting with union leaders to open the negotiations.

GlaxoSmithKline CEO Emma Walmsley on Wednesday said she expects uptake for the company's new RSV vaccine to start off slower than it did for its blockbuster shingles shot. Last month, GSK's RSV shot became the first to win approval in the U.S. and European Union for the treatment of adults 60 and above. The company has not provided estimates for how much revenue the RSV shot will rake in this year following its launch. GSK's vaccine against shingles, a viral infection that causes a painful rash, is the company's top-selling drug. Investors are hoping that Shingrix and GSK's RSV shot will help offset patent expirations for some of the company's blockbuster HIV drugs in a few years.

United Auto Workers members on strike picket outside General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant on Sept. 25, 2019 with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (far left) in Detroit. DETROIT – The United Auto Workers union appears ready to take a hard line when it comes to national negotiations this year with the Detroit automakers, warning of strikes or work stoppages, if needed. UAW President Shawn Fain said the "union will not accept any concessions" from General Motors , Ford Motor and Stellantis – a lofty mission in such negotiations. Contract talks between the union and automakers usually begin in earnest in July ahead of mid-September expirations of the previous four-year agreements. Union leaders, led by Fain, are largely newly elected officers that ran on platforms of standing up to companies and reforming the organization following a years-long federal corruption scandal that partially involved prior negotiations.

Horizon Therapeutics expects its $27.8 billion sale to Amgen to close as early as the end of the third quarter, earlier than previously planned — if the Federal Trade Commission's attempt to block the deal fails — according to a document filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The FTC on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in Illinois federal court seeking to halt the acquisition, arguing it would "stifle competition" in the pharmaceutical industry. Horizon's estimate is earlier than when the companies and Wall Street analysts were initially expecting the deal to close after the FTC sued. If completed, the deal would give Amgen access to Horizon's blockbuster thyroid eye disease drug, Tepezza, and its gout medicine, Krystexxa. The agency said the deal would allow Amgen to "entrench the monopoly positions" of those two fast-growing drugs from Horizon.
May 16 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) is planning to raise $31 billion through its largest debt offering to finance its proposed acquisition of Seagen Inc (SGEN.O), the drugmaker said late on Tuesday. Rival Abbvie Inc (ABBV.N) had in 2019 made a $30 billion debt offering, which was used to finance its $63 billion buyout of Botox maker Allergan. The amount is more than double that of Pfizer's 2009 debt raise of $13.5 billion. The debt offering, which would be in eight tranches, is expected to close on May 19. Yield to maturity on Pfizer's 10-year bonds would be 125 basis points higher than the benchmark risk-free U.S. 10-year Treasury .

May 16 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) said on Tuesday it plans to raise $31 billion from a debt offering to finance its proposed acquisition of Seagen Inc (SGEN.O). Pfizer struck a $43 billion deal in March to acquire Seagen and its targeted cancer therapies as it prepares for a steep fall in COVID-19 sales and generic competition for some top-selling drugs. The company has been pumping billions of dollars into research and acquisitions to mitigate an anticipated $17 billion hit to revenue by 2030 from patent expirations for top drugs, and a decline in demand for COVID products. The debt offering, which would be in eight tranches, is expected to close on May 19, the company said, adding that BofA Securities, Citigroup (C.N), Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and J.P. Morgan (JPM.N) are acting as the joint lead managers and joint book-running managers. Reporting by Kanjyik Ghosh in BengaluruOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

Washington-based Seagen is a pioneer of antibody-drug conjugates, which work like "guided missiles" designed for a targeted destructive effect and spare healthy cells. The Pfizer logo is pictured on their headquarters building in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., November 9, 2020. The drugmaker expects more than $10 billion in sales from Seagen products in 2030, and another $15 billion from its other recent acquisitions. Pfizer said antitrust regulators could closely review the deal due to its size but eventually approve it. Pfizer rival Merck & Co Inc (MRK.N) and Seagen were in advanced deal talks last year but those reportedly collapsed over antitrust concerns.

The plan calls for a top marginal income tax rate of 39.6%, up from 37%, which was reduced as part of former President Donald Trump's signature tax legislation. Biden's plan aims to reform the tax code to "reward work, not wealth," White House Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young told reporters on a call. The plan includes a 25% minimum tax on Americans with wealth exceeding $100 million, and would "ensure that no billionaire pays a lower tax rate than a teacher or firefighter," Young said. watch nowBiden's 2023 federal budget plan proposed a 20% levy on households with the same level of wealth, applying to "total income," including regular earnings and so-called unrealized gains. Without additional changes by Congress, several provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will sunset in 2026, bumping the top income tax rate back to 39.6%.

Feb 27 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) is in early-stage talks to acquire cancer drugmaker Seagen Inc (SGEN.O) in a potential multi-billion dollar deal, the Wall Street Journal reported, after advanced discussions between Merck (MRK.N) and Seagen fell through last year. Seagen had a market capitalization of roughly $30 billion, as of Friday's close. Its shares have fallen nearly 10% since July, when the deal talks with Merck were first reported. Pfizer declined to comment on the WSJ report, while Seagen did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Merck, which bought ADC-maker Imago BioSciences for $1.35 billion in November, is unlikely to show renewed interest in Seagen, analysts said.
In 2023, it expects revenue to be $67 billion to $71 billion. Excluding the COVID-19 drugs, Pfizer expects 2023 revenue to grow 7% to 9%. Pfizer developed its COVID-19 vaccine with German partner BioNTech , and the companies split the profits. The U.S. drugmaker forecast 2023 sales of $13.5 billion from the shot, below Refinitiv estimates of $14.39 billion, and projected $8 billion in sales of Paxlovid, short of analysts' expectation of $10.33 billion. After that transition, the company hopes to roughly quadruple the U.S. price of the COVID-19 vaccine.

In mid-May, Lefkowitz noted that stocks looked oversold and predicted that inflation would fall as wages and supply-chains eased. Sure enough, the S&P 500 entered a steep correction for the exact reasons Lefkowitz outlined. Their latest S&P 500 target for June 2023 is 3,700, which was marked down from both their previous mid-year 2023 target of 4,200, and remains well below their year-end 2023 target of 4,000. For context, the S&P 500 is currently sitting at about 3,960 but fell as low as 3,715 earlier this week. "Since World War II, we've never seen only a modest rise in the unemployment rate," Lefkowitz said.

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) on Tuesday raised its forecast for 2022 sales of its COVID-19 vaccine by $2 billion to $34 billion, and said new deals and drugs in development should help replace future declining vaccine sales and lost revenue from patent expirations.
