On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Eli Lilly (LLY) shares gained. The company agreed to buy sleep drug maker Centessa Pharmaceuticals Plc in a deal worth up to $7.8 billion, a sign the weight-loss medication giant is looking to bulk up its treatment pipeline for other conditions.
- McCormick (MKC) shares rise. Unilever Plc agreed to combine its food business with spice maker McCormick & Co. in a $44.8 billion deal that will create a global seasonings, sauces and condiments company. Under the agreement, McCormick will pay the Anglo-Dutch company $15.7 billion and the equivalent of $29.1 billion McCormick shares for most of Unilever’s food business.
