DCC Plc Trades Steady at 6,130p After KKR Bids £5.7 Billion, July in Focus

DCC Plc traded at 6,130p by early Friday afternoon, holding steady after the FTSE 100 name signaled more progress toward a deal with a KKR- and Energy Capital Partners-led group.

GSK up as rare-disease tag shines spotlight on $10.6bn oncology deal

GSK plc shares traded up in London on Friday after another pipeline update from the UK drugmaker. At 12:24 London time, Sharecast quoted the stock 1.32% higher, or up 26p, while Hargreaves Lansdown’s delayed retail quotes pegged GSK at about 1,988p/1,989p. The move extends a rally that began after Thursday’s 2.13% gain, which beat a smaller FTSE 100 rise. GSK said momelotinib, marketed as Ojjaara/Omjjara for myelofibrosis, just got Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency for VEXAS syndrome—a rare, life-threatening inflammatory and blood disorder with no drugs cleared for use. Orphan Drug Designation gives some incentives for making rare disease drugs, but it is not a green light to start selling for that use.

BAT Lags FTSE 100 After Guidance Cut, Vape Hopes in Focus

British American Tobacco p.l.c. fell in London on Friday, with Hargreaves Lansdown showing a sell price of 4,565p and a buy price of 4,567p, off 18p, or 0.39%. The FTSE 100 gained 1.14%. BAT had only just picked up some ground this week, including a 2.03% jump to £45.66 on Wednesday. Investors remain split on whether the stock’s income case stacks up against slowing cigarette volumes and steady full-year guidance. BAT’s pre-close update on June 2 has kept the share in play. The company now sees “New Category” revenue—which covers vapour, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine—growing at a mid-teens rate for both the first half and the full year. But BAT left 2026 group revenue guidance at the low end

The bounce followed two sessions of underperformance. MarketWatch data showed Experian fell 2.41% on Wednesday, June 10, to £25.56 even as the FTSE 100 rose 0.27%, then dropped another 2.31% on Thursday, June 11, to £24.97 while the FTSE 100 rose 0.48%.
