How to use shire in a sentence?

1. Baxalta CEO Ludwig Hantson:

   We expect that our stock will move up in price and valuation over the next couple of quarters, just as with nearly every other spin, the implied value of Shire’s proposal is no different from what we think we can achieve on our own in the next six to 12 months, and our investors and analysts agree. In this environment, given our prospects and our outlook, Shire’s offer is not compelling.

2. Shire Chief Executive Flemming Ornskov:

   We are incredibly cash-generative and this will add to that, so this does not prevent us from considering further deals, shire is always considering the next deal.

3. Louise Makin:

   In some ways we are very similar to Shire but we are operating in a different world and we are doing it 10 to 15 years later than them.

4. Terry Torrison:

   The Shire deal is likely to mean that there will be no fresh bid speculation coming through on Shire itself, although the ongoing consolidation within the industry means the sector will remain of interest to investors.

5. Mark Enyedy:

   We are extremely pleased that Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court's ruling that the patents are valid, which further confirms that Shire has strong patents protecting Vyvanse.
