GSK CEO Sees RAPT Therapeutics Acquisition as Template for Future Deals -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
04/29

1039 GMT - GSK CEO Luke Miels says the U.K. pharmaceutical company's future deals could follow the pattern of its recent $2.2 billion acquisition of allergy-drug developer RAPT Therapeutics. The company could target companies working on drugs based on proven science that are developing products with an edge over those already on the market, Miels says in a call with reporters. In future dealmaking, GSK is more likely to focus on areas where it is already commercially active or those adjacent to them, as the barriers to expand into new fields are higher, he adds. GSK agreed to buy RAPT in January, just a few weeks after Miels took over as CEO, and closed the deal in March. Shares fall 2.5%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
