Is the AstraZeneca share price too high now? Here’s what you need to know

Balmon Hyper 3 years ago

The demand for pharmaceutical companies’ stocks has surged dramatically. AstraZeneca (LSE:AZN) shares have been no exception. Investor enthusiasm was fuelled by hopes of a new Covid-19 vaccine. But isn’t the AstraZeneca share price already too high? 

Why did the AstraZeneca share price rally?

On Monday, the pharma giant resumed phase 3 vaccine trials. As we all know, the company’s stock has been surging in recent months. That’s because people expect AstraZeneca to develop a Covid-19 vaccine. But is the future so bright for AstraZeneca and its vaccine?

Quite recently the FDA said AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine trial in the US is still pending. That’s because the FDA is unsure if there is a big safety issue or not. So, many questions remain. Phase 3 vaccine trials don’t mean the vaccine will be available tomorrow. What’s more, the FDA’s investigation also suggests there are still many regulatory hurdles. That’s why the AstraZeneca … Read more

Sony will also release a digital edition of the PS5 for $400, the Tokyo-based company said at a virtual event Wednesday. That version doesn’t have a disc drive and requires customers to purchase and download games digitally.

Price tends to be a significant factor in the success of a video game console. Historically, the less-expensive systems sell more units, driving an increase in revenue from games.

Console games have been priced at $60 since the early 2000s, but that appears to be changing. Take-Two Interactive Software had previously announced that the next entry in its NBA 2K series would retail for $70 on … Read more

Balmon Hyper 3 years ago

None of us know what the next 12 months have in store in terms of social distancing, mask-wearing, or vaccines. Regardless of that, whatever you previously thought marketing was must now change.

Thirteen years ago, when we launched our agency, part of my time was spent convincing business owners of the importance of a marketing plan. At the time, many of them remained unconvinced. It wasn’t because they didn’t recognize its importance. They had decided it didn’t apply to themselves or their business.

Today, implementing marketing efforts as a systematic part of doing business is still – unfortunately – a rarity for the majority of smaller businesses. Go back a few years and the situation was worse.

Back in the day, many organizations built their success from the efforts of what I’ll call ‘entrepreneurial’ personality types. These people were born salespeople, even though their title could have been Support Representative, … Read more
