There is an old British saying about the buses: You are waiting for ages for one person and then you reach two times.

Medicine analysts faced something similar on Monday as the adult drug makers – GSK and Astrazneca – gave main ads.

GSK said that Emma and Al -Mili, CEO of the nine -year company, to which I went through Demerger (will now do a health care arm for the former consumers, a separate company called Haleon), will leave at the end of the year. Behind her is Luke Milals, chief commercial official, he was boiled by AZ amid eight years ago.

Meanwhile, AZ announced plans to “coordinate the structure of its stock list to present a global list for global investors in a global company.”

In practice, this means deleting the US depository receipts (ADRS) from the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, and replaced them with a direct insert for regular shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

AdRS are trading certificates issued by American banks that represent a specific number of stocks (usually one) for a foreign company. It tends to be less liquid than the fully listed shares – which respond to some investors.

Investors welcomed this step, as shares rose 0.8 % on Monday. You should bring new investors to the United States, especially if – although this is not given – AZ finally acquires S&P 500.

Versions from the United Kingdom

Initially, these concerns that were broadcast first when the Times stated in July that CEO Pascal Soreut wanted to transfer the Australian market list to the United States

The British newspaper said that Soreriot, who represents today 13 years at his head, talked in particular about doing this on several occasions and discussed until the home of AZ. Soreriot raised the fire when, in the subsequent results, the report did not deny it and even called it a “very American company”. AZ is among many major pharmaceutical companies that have recently stopped or postponed UK investments amid frustration in the country’s pharmaceutical system.

Accordingly, some explain this as another blow to the LESE Stock Exchange (LSE), which is actually how it was reported locally. A group of big names, and all the former FTSE 100 members have moved their primary list away from the United Kingdom recently.

The splits began when, in 2021, the BHP group (previously BHP Billiton) announced at a time when the most valuable FTSE company announced plans to switch from the structure listed in the double menu, where its shares were listed in both the United Kingdom and Australia, to one basic list on the Australian Exchange (ASX). This was basically an exercise to save and simplify costs and rang some alarm bells at that time, not the least of which is because the BHP kept a standard list of LSE, allowing British investors to remain exposed to work. Moreover, the BHP did not have real origins in the United Kingdom, unlike the main office.

The following year, the Distribution of plumbing and heating products Vergson – a UK’s securities market for decades under the name of the former Wolseley – moved its main list to New York. Again, this was not surprising, because North America by that time represented more than 90 % of its sales.

There was no panic when she chose CRH in March 2023 – the largest building material supplier in the world – shift to New York. After all, after I got a preliminary list in London for 12 years, CRH was basically an Irish company that generates more than three profits in the United States

There was more anxiety when Flter Entertainment, the owner of the wager and successful games such as Paddy Power, Betfair, Sky Betting & Gaming and Fanduel, said that she is considering transferring its main list to New York. Since then I did it.

This was just more dangerous like Flute, the Paddy Power that was established aside, was British and a great player in its local market. Regarding concerns, later that year, Holdings Arm Designer Designer Cambridge chose NASDAQ instead of LSE when she returns to the stock market.

Since then, Tui, the German Tui-German organization, has moved from a dual list in London and Frankfurt to one in the end, while FTSE has announced 100 ASHTEAD-equipped equipment that was called the Surrey Village, where it was established-plans to transfer its basic list from London to London. This reflects again the fact that 90 % of its work is now in North America.

Bad news, such as London spray, continued to come: Just Eat Takeway said last December that it will move from a double list in London and Amsterdam to one in the end; The same site was chosen in February this year by Unilever because of its collapsed ice cream work.

It has been reported that the Hong Kong’s fast fashion giant has recently chosen Hong Kong over London for its next first year, and Wise (previously Transferwise), a technology established in London by two Estonian entrepreneurs, and has now obtained the approval of shareholders on its primary list from London to New York to New York.

Is this a different case?

AZ decision, though, may not be as bad as it seems. It was not surprising that “its current position as a company listed in the UK, its headquarters and its tax headquarters” will not change and that this is all related to attracting a broader mixture of global investors and better reaching the largest capital bathrooms in New York.

Also, this does not seem to be a step in search of a higher classification of stocks: only the percentage of a thousand prices to the PAT of their European peers such as Novo Nordisk and Roche, but also many of their peers in the United States including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck.

The British government should not be satisfied. This step is likely to reduce the full switching to New York if Soreriot in the UK finally thwarted.

Rachel Reeves, the country’s advisor, can prove that she is vigilant to the risks posed by the London market by removing Stamp reserves, which is a 0.5 % paradox tax that has been applied to all stock purchases.

However – where he raises 3 billion pounds annually for the Treasury Treasury – I will not bet on this.
