GSK enters agreement to acquire 35Pharma

GSK plc

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on February 25, 2026, that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 35Pharma Inc., a Canadian clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash. The acquisition includes HS235, a potentially best-in-class activin signaling inhibitor in clinical development for treating cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly pulmonary hypertension (PH). HS235 offers a differentiated profile by reducing the risk of bleeding and providing metabolic benefits, addressing key limitations of current PH therapies. The drug has completed Phase I trials and is set to begin studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).
PH affects approximately 82 million people globally, with limited treatment options and a five-year survival rate of around 50%. The global PH therapies market is projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with activin signaling inhibitors expected to account for 50%. HS235’s mechanism targets the activin receptor pathway, reducing adverse events associated with current treatments, and offers additional metabolic benefits such as fat-selective weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.
The acquisition strengthens GSK’s Respiratory, Immunology, and Inflammation (RI&I) portfolio, providing scalable opportunities to address metabolic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic drivers of chronic diseases affecting the lung, liver, and kidney. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in the US and Canada and is expected to close pending customary conditions.

GSK enters agreement to acquire 35Pharma

GSK plc

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on February 25, 2026, that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 35Pharma Inc., a Canadian clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash. The acquisition includes HS235, a potentially best-in-class activin signaling inhibitor in clinical development for treating cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly pulmonary hypertension (PH). HS235 offers a differentiated profile by reducing the risk of bleeding and providing metabolic benefits, addressing key limitations of current PH therapies. The drug has completed Phase I trials and is set to begin studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).
PH affects approximately 82 million people globally, with limited treatment options and a five-year survival rate of around 50%. The global PH therapies market is projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with activin signaling inhibitors expected to account for 50%. HS235’s mechanism targets the activin receptor pathway, reducing adverse events associated with current treatments, and offers additional metabolic benefits such as fat-selective weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.
The acquisition strengthens GSK’s Respiratory, Immunology, and Inflammation (RI&I) portfolio, providing scalable opportunities to address metabolic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic drivers of chronic diseases affecting the lung, liver, and kidney. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in the US and Canada and is expected to close pending customary conditions.

GSK enters agreement to acquire 35Pharma
**Summary:** GSK plc announced on February 25, 2026, that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 35Pharma Inc., a Canadian clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash. The acquisition includes HS235, a potentially best-in-class activin signaling inhibitor in clinical development for treating cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly pulmonary hypertension (PH). HS235 offers a differentiated profile by reducing the risk of bleeding and providing metabolic benefits, addressing key limitations of current PH therapies. The drug has completed Phase I trials and is set to begin studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). PH affects approximately 82 million people globally, with limited treatment options and a five-year survival rate of around 50%. The global PH therapies market is projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with activin signaling inhibitors expected to account for 50%. HS235’s mechanism targets the activin receptor pathway, reducing adverse events associated with current treatments, and offers additional metabolic benefits such as fat-selective weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity. The acquisition strengthens GSK’s Respiratory, Immunology, and Inflammation (RI&I) portfolio, providing scalable opportunities to address metabolic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic drivers of chronic diseases affecting the lung, liver, and kidney. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in the US and Canada and is expected to close pending customary conditions.

**Summary**
Glanbia plc, the Better Nutrition company, announced on February 25, 2026, the launch of a share buyback program valued up to €50 million.

Continuation beyond April 29, 2026, is contingent on shareholder approval at the 2026 AGM. The program complies with Euronext Dublin Listing Rules, EU Market Abuse Regulations, and Central Bank of Ireland guidelines. Glanbia confirmed it holds no unpublished inside information.

**Summary of Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC Preliminary Results for FY2025**
**Overview**
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC (AML) reported preliminary results for FY2025, highlighting challenges in a difficult trading environment while achieving operational milestones. Despite external pressures, the company focused on product launches, operational transformation, and cost management.
**Key Financial Highlights**
**Revenue** Declined by 21% to £1,257.7 million due to lower wholesale volumes and fewer high-margin Specials.
**Gross Profit** Fell by 37% to £369.8 million, with a gross margin of 29.4%, impacted by tariffs, lower Specials, and increased warranty costs.
**Adjusted EBIT Loss** Widened to £189.2 million from £82.8 million in FY2024, reflecting lower gross profit and operational challenges.
**Net Debt** Increased to £1,380.3 million from £1,162.7 million, with liquidity at £250 million, supported by improved cash collections and the proposed sale of naming rights to AMR GP for £50 million.
**Operational Achievements**
**Product Launches** Commenced production of the Valhalla mid-engined PHEV supercar, delivering 152 units in Q4 2025, contributing to sequential ASP growth.
**Core ASP** Increased by 5% to £185,000, driven by new core model derivatives.
**Cost Management** Reduced SG&A and CAPEX, partially offsetting external challenges.
**Strategic Initiatives**
**Transformation Programme** Ongoing initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.
**Product Mix** Focus on an enhanced product mix, including the Valhalla and high-performance derivatives like the DBX S and Vanquish Volante.

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on February 25, 2026, that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 35Pharma Inc., a Canadian clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash. The acquisition includes HS235, a potentially best-in-class activin signaling inhibitor in clinical development for treating cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly pulmonary hypertension (PH). HS235 offers a differentiated profile by reducing the risk of bleeding and providing metabolic benefits, addressing key limitations of current PH therapies. The drug has completed Phase I trials and is set to begin studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).
PH affects approximately 82 million people globally, with limited treatment options and a five-year survival rate of around 50%. The global PH therapies market is projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with activin signaling inhibitors expected to account for 50%. HS235’s mechanism targets the activin receptor pathway, reducing adverse events associated with current treatments, and offers additional metabolic benefits such as fat-selective weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.
The acquisition strengthens GSK’s Respiratory, Immunology, and Inflammation (RI&I) portfolio, providing scalable opportunities to address metabolic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic drivers of chronic diseases affecting the lung, liver, and kidney. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in the US and Canada and is expected to close pending customary conditions.

**Dividends and Revenue**
Net revenue return per share was 2.02p.
Two interim dividends of 3.375p each were paid, with a projected annualised dividend of 13.50p per share for the year ending 31 May 2026.

GSK enters agreement to acquire 35Pharma

GSK plc

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on February 25, 2026, that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 35Pharma Inc., a Canadian clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash. The acquisition includes HS235, a potentially best-in-class activin signaling inhibitor in clinical development for treating cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly pulmonary hypertension (PH). HS235 offers a differentiated profile by reducing the risk of bleeding and providing metabolic benefits, addressing key limitations of current PH therapies. The drug has completed Phase I trials and is set to begin studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).
PH affects approximately 82 million people globally, with limited treatment options and a five-year survival rate of around 50%. The global PH therapies market is projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with activin signaling inhibitors expected to account for 50%. HS235’s mechanism targets the activin receptor pathway, reducing adverse events associated with current treatments, and offers additional metabolic benefits such as fat-selective weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.
The acquisition strengthens GSK’s Respiratory, Immunology, and Inflammation (RI&I) portfolio, providing scalable opportunities to address metabolic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic drivers of chronic diseases affecting the lung, liver, and kidney. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in the US and Canada and is expected to close pending customary conditions.
