Jagshemash CSL Stock Goes Down Very Much

Chenquiwi! As Borat, journalist and cultural expert from Kazakhstan, I must report on terrible happenings in Australia. The company CSL, making the vaccines and medicines – very important, like potassium – has big problems. Stock price, it falls like my neighbor's teeth after I borrow his tractor. Down 17 percent. This is not good for Kazakhstan, not good for Australia, maybe good for Uzbekistan. I must investigate.

CEO Makes Like My Cousin and Leaves Quickly

The big boss, Paul McKenzie, he is gone. Like my cousin who "borrows" the goat and never returns. Now, a man named Gordon Naylor, who has been with CSL for 33 years – very long time, like waiting for potatoes to grow – takes over for now. He try fix the problems. Perhaps he has magic potion like the one my village shaman makes to cure… everything. But CSL not only has CEO problem, they also have money problem. Speaking of money, you should read Dividend Stocks Shine: Capital Group Unveils AI and Healthcare Opportunities. It may help you understand the stock market better.

Profits Disappear Like Stolen Chickens

Net profit, it drops 81 percent. Eighty-one! That is like all the chickens in my village disappearing overnight, only worse because this is money. They say it is because of "restructuring costs" and "asset impairments". This sounds like when my neighbor blames the dog for eating all the sausages, but really he ate them himself. Also, they say government policy bad. Maybe the government wants all the vaccines for themselves, like when I tried to keep all the cheese for myself on my trip to America. This is not communism, this is common sense.

Flu Vaccine Sales Go Down, Sad Like Losing a Wrestling Match

CSL makes flu vaccines, but nobody wants them in America. Sales go down 6-8 percent. This is sad, like losing a wrestling match to a bear. They say people not getting vaccinated. Maybe they think vaccines cause autism, like my neighbor thinks cell phones cause him to grow extra toes. CSL must convince Americans vaccines good. Maybe they need to hire me. I am very persuasive. "Throw the Jew down the well!" is very convincing.

CSL Says Everything Will Be Fine, Like My Wife Says After I Crash the Car

CSL says second half of year will be better. They say revenue and profit will grow. This is like my wife saying everything will be fine after I crash the car into the town hall. I hope they are right. They are buying back shares, like when I try to buy back my stolen goat from the gypsies. I hope it works for them. CSL is big company, with offices in America, Europe, and Asia. Very important for world health, like horse is important for pulling the plow.

In Conclusion, Very Nice, or Maybe Not

So, CSL has problems. CEO gone, profits down, sales bad. But they say things will get better. We will see. Maybe they need to hire me as consultant. I can teach them how to make better borscht and also how to avoid being attacked by bears. Until then, Chenquiwi, and may your stocks go up, not down. Jagshemash.
