It's a big day for GSK spin-out Haleon PLC on Thursday as an overhang from the combined 45% stake owned by former parents GSK and Pfizer could start to unravel.
When Haleon was spun out as a separately listed company earlier this year, Pfizer held a 32% stake and GSK around 13.5%.
They are prevented from selling under a lockup agreement that will be lifted whenever Haleon publishes third-quarter results or 10 November. The Haleon preview in full can be read here.
Ex-dividends meanwhile will reduce FTSE100 by 10.06 points (Whitbread, Shell, Airtel Africa, BP) at the start of trading.
US inflation numbers are due later on Thursday and will be watched for any sign that some of the pressure might be easing and the Fed can take its foot off the monetary tightening brake (full preview here).
