GlaxoSmithKline has two blockbusters coming off patent in 2010 which will affect the bottom line in the near-term. While GSK has a healthy pipeline, it also is sitting on over $10 Billion worth of currency (most of it in dollars). I suspect that it will try to put some (or all) of this cash to work with an acquisition (to try to further compensate for the loss of Advair and Avandia). Between acquisition costs, taxes to repatriate some of the funds, and any goodwill, I don't believe the imminent acquistion will be accretive until 2011 at the earliest.

With risk of a Dem in office next year, and baby boomers becoming more proactive in their health, expect this stock to stay downward this year. But up as more and more baby boomers age.

GSK is revising Avandia product label to reflect negative events such as myocardial ischemia. Since there is no reduction in cardiovascular risks for diabetics, this reduces the long term outlook for the profitablity of this drug product and GSK.

Difficulties in the form of significant patent expirations on the horizon; pipeline has still yet to actually produce anything more than promise.

With all the other Pharma's dumping CEOs and making patent blunders, Glaxo has managed to stay out of the news, but general skittishness in this sector will depress performance. Look for a rebound and an outperform to follow.
