IC podcast special: The Price of Drugs

Investing amid pharma's politics.
April 26, 2017 & Alex Newman

Drug pricing always comes with political noise, particularly when US elections are concerned. Over the last year, the share prices of pharmaceutical and biotech companies on both sides of the Atlantic have continually swung on the tweets and proclamations of politicians.

In this special podcast, IC companies writer Megan Boxall speaks with industry insiders and cuts through the controversy and policy rumblings, to assess whether there are still good reasons to view pharma and biotech companies as worthwhile investments.
