- Description
- Biotech giant CSL reported a full-year loss of $US2.6 billion. Its bottom line was hurt by significant asset impairments, particularly at its Switzerland-based iron deficiency division Vifor — which it purchased for $US11.7 billion four years ago. CSL's interim chief executive Gordon Naylor said Vifor was "clearly not" a good investment at that price tag, but believes the worst of the decline is happening now. He says the company is focussing on the long term prospects for the subsidiary. Another challenge for the bottom line of the biotech firm is the Trump administration's stance on vaccines. The US defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced the flu vaccine would no longer be compulsory for military personnel. Mr Naylor says he recognises there's a headwind upon the industry, but he says "superior vaccines" like CSL's are favoured.

"I think it's important to realise that trades, these are real professions ...They're not something that you can really acquire and become honed in on overnight. He said. Mr Duggan has been meeting with Australia's housing minister on the issue and says he urges federal politicians to steer clear of emotive debates and look at the facts. "Let's not focus on what is the popular solution, I understand why it might be the right political avenue to try and point to migration as being the driver of why we are where we are right now, but there are a lot of other systemic, more difficult factors that we need to lean into" Mr Duggan said.

- The country's biggest steel maker is one of the few supporters of Donald Trump's tariffs. With a significant US operation, BlueScope has delivered a bumper full-year profit result, reporting a whopping 857 per cent increase in net profit to $802 million.
BlueScope chief executive Tania Archibald spoke to The Business.
Laughing when asked if she's a fan of Donald Trump's tariff policy, she admits while the US has a very strong macro and trade environment, she wouldn't just put the company's huge profit down to tariffs.
"I mean, it's hard to come across a better country in the world to make and sell steel....what we have with North Star is probably one of the highest performing mini mills in North America ... Auto has remained strong, construction is reasonably strong, and so I think that's all of those factors coming together is what's reflecting in the result there." she says.
