GSK's ViiV Healthcare Says HIV Treatment Cabenuva's Latest Trial Meets Primary Endpoint
MT newswire2026/10/06 13:4209:42 AM EDT, 10/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- ViiV Healthcare, which is majority owned by GSK (GSK), said Tuesday that a phase 3b study has met its primary endpoint, showing that at six months, Cabenuva saw "superior rates of viral suppression" compared with oral antiretroviral therapy in adults and adolescents with HIV-1, who had detectable virus when they started the trial. The trial has enrolled 326 participants in eight countries at 85 study sites, the company said. The results follow a previous trial that showed that Cabenuva was superior to daily oral therapy in keeping viral suppression for people with HIV who had reached viral suppression on oral antiretroviral therapy but had a history of adherence challenges, ViiV said. The latest trial addressed a "remaining evidence gap by evaluating direct initiation of the regimen in people who still had detectable virus at study entry," the company said. ViiV said the latest results will now be shared with health regulators. Price: 46.77, Change: +0.24, Percent Change: +0.52

BUZZ - Constellation Brands shares fall after lowering profit margin expectations
October 7 - Constellation Brands (STZ.N) shares fell nearly 5% in pre-market trading to $110.11. The Corona beer maker lowered its full-year operating margin forecast to 31%-32% from the previous 32%-33%. The company reported Q2 profit and sales on Tuesday that exceeded expectations, driven by strong demand for beers such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, which helped offset challenges in the alcohol sector amid weak consumption. JPMorgan stated that Q2 FY2027 financial results were largely in line with expectations; market focus may turn to management's outlook for H2 FY2027 beer business revenue and operating margins, and the implications for FY2028. The company will pay $75 million to acquire the vodka-based ready-to-drink (RTD) brand SpikedAde upon transaction completion, with up to a further $278 million over five years depending on brand performance and capital allocation priorities. “Although the brand and category are still nascent, the acquisition of SpikedAde could hold significant potential,” said JPMorgan. As of yesterday's close, the stock is down 16% year to date.
