1014 GMT - European pharmaceutical stocks fall in early European trade, following their U.S. peers after the U.S. Medicare agency proposed to pay domestic insurers well below what analysts were expecting in 2027. After $96 billion of U.S. healthcare market capitalization was wiped out Tuesday, European pharmaceutical stocks fall, too. Sandoz Group leads the sector down--falling 3.3%--while German chemicals giant Bayer drops 2.8%. Roche Holding falls 2.7%, as Novo Nordisk and GSK both fall over 2%. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
