"The AZN stock had broadly stayed around the £30 mark from 2010 to 2013. In 2014 it started to move upwards, and in the spring of that year leapt above £40 for the first time in the decade. Since then it's mostly been in the £40s, with a couple of jumps into the £50s and a couple of bumps into the £30s. Overall, the rejected bid by Pfizer does appear to have had the effect of the market re-rating the stock's valuation up from the first few years of the current decade."

it's interesting to see the lengths companies will go to save a few hundred million in tax (!) and I'm definitely not saying that this is what Kraft are doing!
Unilever, like KH, has grown through M&A.
And many will believe they are vested in British tradition,
