Quick Glance: Sanofi Struggles with Profit Decline due to Competition and Currency Effects

In the first quarter, Sanofi's operating income decreased by 14.7%, primarily due to currency effects and competitive pressures on their multiple sclerosis drug Aubagio, despite the increase in sales of the anti-inflammatory drug Dupixent.

The company emphasized the forecast that adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for 2024 are expected to decrease by a low single-digit percentage, excluding currency fluctuations.

During a media briefing, Finance chief Francois-Xavier Roger highlighted the impact of the decline in the Argentine Peso on first-quarter international sales.

Since unexpectedly abandoning the 2025 margin targets last October under a plan to boost spending on drug development, CEO Paul Hudson has been working to restore investor confidence in the company's drug pipeline.

Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: Time for Kering’s King to Consider a Step Back

Francois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, should consider bringing in fresh blood and possibly appointing a new CEO.

In any sector other than luxury, shareholders might have already stepped in to suggest a change at the helm, but at Kering, founding families tightly control the company.

The board of Kering should apply pressure on the chairman to at least give up the CEO role.

Pinault should step back into the chairman's job and leave a new Kering chief the independence they will need.
