2337 GMT - Investors are expected to view CSL's decision to delay a spinoff of flu-vaccine unit Seqirus positively, says RBC Capital Markets analyst Craig Wong-Pan. With U.S. flu-vaccine rates in decline, he says most investors didn't expect the spinoff to create value. Still, Wong-Pan says he expects CSL shares to underperform the market Tuesday given the company's announcement that it is cutting guidance, though he says the tempered growth outlook is "somewhat understandable given it has been mostly attributable to weakness in the influenza vaccine market." CSL shares are down some 15% to about A$180/share. (mike.cherney@wsj.com)
