Yesterday's failed blockbuster drug can be tomorrow's niche therapy. That would appear to be the prognosis from AstraZeneca, which yesterday won European marketing approval for Iressa, its once-a-day lung cancer pill.
Wednesday tips round-up: BG, Carpetright, Reed Elsevier

ShareCast - Wed 01 Jul, 07:03 AM
BG is regarded as a perennial bid target, but it is the growth prospects of the group in Australian LNG, its assets in offshore Brazil and now US shale gas that are the real reasons to own the shares.

Sunday tips round-up: FirstGroup, Standard Chartered, Kier

ShareCast - Sun 28 Jun, 01:20 PM
FirstGroup shares were 657p last summer but today they are 370¾p. The stock has been affected by concerns about transport companies in general, concerns about fuel costs and concerns about debt.
Thursday tips round-up: Stagecoach, Kesa, Northern Foods
-
ShareCast - Thu 25 Jun, 06:10 AM
Aside from a secure and rising dividend, Stagecoach's appeal has been an operating performance consistently better than its peers. But its exposure to falling UK rail revenues, a potentially protracted legal spat and this month's revelation that Stagecoach paid £1.2 billion to secure the SWT contract — twice the offer of the nearest bidder — must undermine that allure. At 127¾p, up 10p and at nine times earnings, avoid, says the Times.

ShareCast - Thu 18 Jun, 06:16 AM
For a consulting engineer, which relies upon a large number of small, short-term contracts, even a brief lull in trading can feel like for ever. So it is something of a relief that, faced with the most persistently tough conditions of recent times, WS Atkins was able to avoid accompanying yesterday's full-year figures with a profit warning.
