AstraZeneca shares slide as much as 7% after report of roughly $400 billion merger talks with Bristol Myers Squibb
A Financial Times report that AstraZeneca has held months-long talks with Bristol Myers Squibb on a potential ~$400bn merger drove AZN shares down as much as 7%. The deal uncertainty (valuation, execution risk, regulatory scrutiny) is weighing on U.K. large-cap pharma and modestly pressuring the FTSE 100, which was otherwise flat. Near-term index impact is likely concentrated in heavyweight healthcare constituents.
