GSK shares fall after blood cancer drug likely headed for U.S. rejection
(Reuters) -GSK shares fell more than 6% on Friday after a U.S. FDA advisory panel recommended against approving its blood cancer drug Blenrep, citing earlier concerns over eye-related side effects. The British drugmaker was trying to revive the drug, which was pulled from U.S. markets in 2022 after failing a late-stage study. GSK's renewed application is based on two late-stage trials showing that Blenrep, when used in combination, improved overall survival in patients. The setback from the U.S. FDA advisory vote comes at a time when GSK is focusing on expanding its pipeline to offset declining sales from top drugs and vaccines. The company's shares fell as much as 7% to 1,315 pence, and were the top percentage loser on London's blue-chip FTSE 100 index, which was up 0.2%. The FDA is due to give a formal decision on Blenrep next week, and analysts at Berenberg and JPMorgan said the regulator is unlikely to approve it then. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory panels, though it is not bound to do so. "GSK remains confident in the benefit/risk profile of Blenrep and will continue to work closely with the FDA as they complete their review for Blenrep," the company had said in a statement on Thursday. The company has forecast peak annual sales for Blenrep, chemically called belantamab mafodotin, of over 3 billion pounds ($4 billion). The therapy is currently under review for approval in more than 10 countries. Including Friday's losses, GSK shares are down about 2% for the year.

Release Date: July 17, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Bank7 Corp (NASDAQ:BSVN) reported one of its best quarters ever, driven by strong loan and deposit growth. The company maintained its Net Interest Margin (NIM) on the higher end of its historical range. Asset quality remains strong, with a high-quality credit book maintained by the credit team. The economic conditions in key markets like Oklahoma and Texas are favorable, supporting business growth. The company has a disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions, focusing on dynamic markets and common cultures. Negative Points Loan growth can be unpredictable due to lumpy paydowns and asset sales. Deposit costs may increase to fund growth, potentially impacting the NIM. The company faces competitive pricing dynamics in the loan market, which could pressure yields. There is a slight expected increase in expenses over the next quarters. The energy and hospitality portfolios experience significant churn, requiring constant reloading of the customer base. Q & A Highlights Q: How is Bank7 Corp thinking about loan growth momentum for the rest of the year given the strong performance in the first half? A: Jason Estes, President and Chief Credit Officer, mentioned that while loan growth can be lumpy due to paydowns, the deal pipeline looks solid, especially in Oklahoma and Texas. The economic conditions in these areas are favorable, and they expect Q3 to be similar to Q2, although payoffs can be unpredictable. Q: What is the outlook for Net Interest Margin (NIM) given the growth and stable deposit costs? A: Jason Estes noted that while deposit costs may rise slightly to fund growth, the bank focuses on offsetting these with zero-cost transaction accounts. They expect a slight degradation in NIM but aim to remain within historical ranges. Q: Can you provide an update on M&A activity for Bank7 Corp? A: Thomas Travis, President and CEO, stated that while they have come close to deals with signed LOIs, they remain disciplined. They continue to evaluate opportunities, focusing on dynamic markets and common cultures, but it's hard to predict when a deal might occur. Q: What are the competitive pricing dynamics for new loans, and how do they compare to the 7.6% core yield in Q2? A: Jason Estes explained that new loans are slightly lower than the 7.6% yield but the pricing environment is historically normal. There is always pricing pressure, but the market has settled on both the deposit and loan sides. Q: How is Bank7 Corp managing expenses, and what is the outlook for the remainder of the year? A: Kelly Harris, CFO, indicated that Q2 is a solid guide for expenses, with a slight increase expected. They project $2 million in fees, split evenly between oil and gas and core, and $10 million in expenses, with $1 million in oil and gas and $9 million in other expenses.

Q: What factors have led to the revised guidance range for the second half of the year? A: Michael Leskinen, CFO, mentioned that the guidance range of $9 to $11 for the full year includes a conservative approach, accounting for potential unforeseen events. The recent strong booking trends suggest that this range might be conservative if current trends continue. Q: How does United plan to increase its premium product offerings? A: Andrew Nocella, CCO, highlighted that United plans to increase the percentage of premium seats, particularly in the Premium Plus cabin, which has shown strong returns. The introduction of the Polaris Studio suite and the focus on premium capacity are part of this strategy. Q: What is the status of the Starlink implementation on United planes?
