roche is said to be in talks to take over the japanese drugmaker. let's bring in our m&a, matt campbell. what does roche want for chugai? why do they want to take full control? >> good morning. what is going on is 2 parallel trends or goals. a firmer footprint in the japanese market for all of japan's trouble economically, it is the second-largest health-care market. an aging population, lots of spending on drugs. it's a place where roche wants to be in their armored one of the leaders. number two is it is a are in the &d dynamo. a major drug has come out. they worked together. another drug for arthritis that is promising. it is often the outsell what we hear from pharmaceutical, orphan drugs. smallfor very populations. things like cancer and arthritis are widespread. a huge market. >> where does it leave roche in the whole m&a story in the pharmaceutical sector over the past year? has sat out. they have made a few small deals. dollar 200 billion plus company. chris and they are not afraid of big deals. >> by the standards of pharma deals that have

so roche is getting in there before approval is expect ed to come out. >> there are reports that roche potentially or speculation that roche is looking to increase in the japanese pharmaceutical company, but now we know that's not the case. do we get out of this company and think somebody else is going to come along and snap it up? >> well, i don't know. i don't know if the company has completely dismissed it. i think a lot of the talk has been interested in sort of acquiring the rest of the stakes or not. in terms of the synergy there between roche and intermune, paying that amount would be less of a risk than if another company would come on board. but obviously they have been a bit of a target over the year and we could see a custom company try to get into the base. >> surani, thank you for being with us, surani fernando there. >>> we are just getting flashes through on the wires in regards to what's taking place in ukraine. the russian foreign minister lavrov has stated that russia told ukraine it intends to send another aid convoy into the country, into ukraine. we saw the first c

roche trying to get here? a veryai has been significant part of roche over the years. japan is the world's second-largest market for pharmaceuticals. chugai tends to do big drugs for big markets. we usually hear about orphan drugs. these are things that are quite widely needed. two very well known cancer drugs on which roche and chugai partner. roche is looking to take full control of those and of the cash flow. >> do they need to be taking part in this m&a frenzy? they seem to be motivated by slightly different things. the bit they already own is really integral to roche. >> this is different from some of the other deals we have seen in this space. n you get a wave of m&a going boards, chief executive start to think, where is our deal? are we going to miss the boat? the market support for consolidation and making big strategic moves? roche has done a bit of acquiring this year. but it has been largely smaller stuff. there are $200 billion-plus company and have enormous power if they should choose to use it. roche has been on the sidelines in terms of the really big tr

that was a good fit for roche.turned their attention to instead of having to raise the price. >> could we see more deals coming from roche now? >> yes, ross has been very clear they are looking for a spring of targeted acquisitions like this one where you buy a company or a .roduct this fills the need. they will do more deals like this one. generates money, so we expect to see more mergers from them. >> things for joining us. -- thanks for joining us. and air.n to malaysia after suffering two disasters, the carrier is said to be considering a complete overhaul. the company is reportedly looking for a new ceo. from hong kong. you have got about two minutes to tell me how this company based onirection. >> our sources we are looking at a few sweeping changes. we are looking at job cuts. we are looking at her have to review of their plan. we are looking at getting up from some of these current routes. the firm is also looking to replace the ceo. they are talking to as many as three people about the job. malaysian airli

roche, the swiss drug company, is paying nearly $8.5 billion in cash for u.s.iotech company, intermune, helping the world leading maker of cancer drugs expand into lucrative rare disease treatments. intermune has a promising new drug to treat a lung condition. shares surged 35% today. meg terrell has more on what's driving this merger. >> reporter: health care companies have been on a buying spree. from pfizer's attempted deal to buy astrazeneca for almost $120 billion to the successful purchase of shire. mergers and acquisitions in the industry are at a record high. traditional targets, biotech companies, haven't been the main event this year. as companies pursue m & a for tax reasons. >> there has been an increased number of these transactions that are tax inversions. so, you know, kind of inverting into a nonu.s. corporation to, you know, really lower overall tax rates. >> reporter: that may be changing, lisa bako says. roche's purchase of intermune yesterday makes it still healthy. >> this transaction is the ilk of a traditional biotech, bio phrma agreement

roche wasn -- considering a bid, now roche is looking somewhere else.agement basically said, we don't like it. to's see if shares fall back 3000. that is where we basically were before. speculation in the market. >> ok, let's leave it there. that is the verdict from the guys. the stocks are highlighted based on -- we will be back in an hour to see how the stocks we have got here have done. galaxyrdians of the continue to rule at the box office. the group of marvel misfits not only held onto the number one spot this weekend, the film also became the highest grossing summer hit in north america, surpassing transformers. internationally, the transformers rained supreme with one third of ticket sales coming from china. all right, in the next hour of the show, back to the negotiating table. hyundai meets after >> production. we will take >> the u.s. dollar is extending its rally, pushing the yen toward its low for the year. coming to the table, hyundai to meet with striking workers today. and, not a citizen, not a problem. the politics and influence of kim d

why is this deal so attractive to roche? >> you heard olivia talking about the price for one drug that is not even approved by the fda yet, but here is how these things work, and why these types of deals are becoming very attractive to pharma. pharma now has a lot of leverage in the price. if you can find a drug where there is nothing else on the market, where it can provide an actual benefit to patients, and with this drug it did improve life expectancy for people who had a very rare, terrible lung disorder that kills people typically within five years of diagnosis -- if you have those things, the sky is the limit on the price. there is even some drugs out there over $200,000 a year for patients, because there is nothing else, and the insurer of have their hands tied and pharma can charge whatever they want. >> this is a strategic play for roche, especially when it comes to the market for lung disorder drugs. >> we have an aging population and a population that has been more affected by tobacco, smoking, and pollution. for

it seems like a different player stays up every night and adam la roche stepped up his game, driven inx runs and tonight his two-one homer changed the complexion of the ball game. looking for his first win in his last five starts. pirates up a run, two on, two out for gabby sanchez rips one into left. here comes the second, not going to get there, two-one single there. pirates go up 3-0. gave up three runs in five innings of work. it didn't matter, adam la roche, nats down, 3-1, delivers a two-one shot into right, what a clutch hit by the first baseman. that deserves a curtain call. with bryce harper on second, this one bounces over the hall and harper scores the game winning run. nats, 4-3, their fifth straight win. >> i view this team as ten ashs and they don't give up. it hasn't changed since day one. they believe they can come back and they can string hits together and we can score runs and that's a good thing to have. that police system is good. >> jimenez, a three-one homer and 3-0 lead. bottom of the fifth, showalter antsy, impatient in the dugout, bradley tees off on the pitch.

why does the deal make sense buying roche?think the starting point is really the medicine which intermune has developed over the last years. it helps patients who suffer from a devastating disease. it's called i h ee eed ideaopat fibrosis. it's a devastating fatal disease. patients typically will die two to three years after diagnosis. and intermune has developed this important medicine, give new hope to patients and that's why we are so excited about this opportunity. it really fits into what we are doing, focusing on innovation, true medical differentiation for patients. >> and maybe you can tell us a little bit about the drug in the eu and canada and its approval pathway in the u.s. now approval is expected in the u.s. maybe you can tell us about the opportunity here. >> yeah, the opportunity is very important, as he said. this is a terrible disease. it affects at least 100,000 patients, probably more. the patients die very quickly. they have very bad time breathing. and today there's not one drug approved at all. so it's a

had this morning we heard about the gigantic acquisition by roche. that's how they keep up with the joneses. the true market leaders at this moment. but exhibit a of how m and a activity drove the s&p higher today is the remarkable tie-up between tim hortons, the terrific canadian coffee and doughnut shop and burger king. the growth challenge junk food house. this is not just a pure tax savings play. burger king which would move its headquarters to canada from florida won't actually be cutting its tax bill. at least this year. canada has lower rates than we do but it is not the same huge tax haven like ireland. burger king pays almost exactly the same tax rate in canada as it does in the u.s. don't get sidetracked. this deal is largely motivated by the need for higher growth, pure and simple. meaning the need for growth in the profit margin challenge fast casual sector. higher growth which has become almost impossible to get unless you are pure, natural and yore gain bei -- organic. which is hardly a description of either company. bkw struggles to gr

you have roche, the swiss pharmaceutical company.been allowed to be there because pharmaceuticals are exempt from sanctions. they maintain offices. then you have oil companies that oil left like the french company talking about going back as soon as sanctions come off. oil is a huge opportunity. they are talking about $100 billion in investment. autos is a big opportunity. the french carmakers were big in iran. they are talking about coming back. you have steel. huge opportunities in steel. one of the largest steel consuming countries in the world. >> how do you get european companies to tell you what they are doing? >> it was a big challenge. a lot of companies, even though they are there, do not want to talk about it. afraid oftill very the potential reaction from u.s. authorities. u.s. companies are afraid of the congressional reaction. electric, which has a waiver to do safety maintenance aircraft,civilian they still felt that they should say that any revenues from this activity, they are going to donate to charity. >> it is not

the other reason is this is -- gets roche further. the asthmao build jokes a section of the business. the third reason is this is exactly the kind of old on acquisition we knew that roche and a lot of other players in the industry are looking to do instead of paying a billion dollars without any guarantee, they want to buy up their pipelines and buy jugs in late stage development. that is what they have got here. this drug is already on the market. it is a guarantee for you much that it will yet the green light in the u.s. about a billion dollars by 2020. >> what does that say about the price? what are people paying lately? what struck me was all cash. that is interesting. >> yes. roche has a lot of cash. their cash flow for the first half of the year. they have got plenty of money. we knew they wanted to do a deals. the rumors were they go -- they were going to buy the rest of eighth japanese pharmaceutical -- a japanese pharmaceutical company. to makens are hard sense of. it is still a hefty premium. a 60% premium before there was a

the 10 volume -- $10 billion deal will give roche full control of chugai. chugai has denied any discussions are underway. hong kong has cut its growth forecast for the year after an unexpected contraction last quarter. which account -- hong kong retail sales dropped for five straight months. investment is also down. march and now counter march in hong kong. tens of thousand took to the streets on sunday. this time to protest against occupy central, a group that marched in july, calling for full democracy. sunday's protesters are more sympathetic to beijing, which once a role in who can lead -- which wants a role in who can lead hong kong. there may be a hurdle to overcome before alibaba's make a megang -- alibaba's listing. >> we know they bought up a lot of companies. they found some irregularities when it came to accounting treatment. scale.t know the about alibaba pictures, formerly known as china vision media. they changed the name. they won't be able to release .heir first half results possible noncompliance accounting treatments. these are for prior a

roche buying intermune for $8.3 billion. more than a 60% premium to intermune's close on august 12th right before reports said the company was evaluating strategic opgs. we'll have both ceos coming up on "squawk on the street" later this morning. >>> the other big story, burger king in talks to acquire canadian coffee and donut chain, tim hortons. this would be make it the latest inversion. they would operate as a stand-alone brand. two points on the burger king deal, even though it is an inversion, this deal likely a little bit more like a real deal in terms of strategic merit, both in terms that 50% of the company would be based in canada. there are reasons to keep it there, but more importantly from a 3g perspective, the guys that own burger king, we saw what they have done with inbev and heinz. this is sort of their approach at taking a restaurant company and using it as a platform to buy a lot more. i would argue to everybody that this is just the beginning. we should see the transaction cross the tape later this week,

shares rising after interest from roche.na's crackdown on excess means that gold's best friend has become even more attractive. we get chinese equities underway, we are waiting for house prices to come through. looking at what is happening with that as we saw a stalling in prices last month or the month before. >> certainly a factor when it comes to sentiment. property is a very big component of the economy. coming oute fdi about 30 minutes from now. that is what the picture looks like across the region. it is looking a little bit more red compared to about 30 minutes back. out inre, exports coming the past 10 minutes or so, falling 8%. moving inn what is that market, top three. there you go. the top three biggest declines percentage-wise. also point out the south korean won. jpmorgan coming out with a forecast this morning. the branch manager of the seoul branch of jpmorgan is saying we could see the currency top levels from before the crisis. in the past few years, saying that dollar-won will fall below the 1000 level. if

we are very excited about welcoming those employees into roche. deal we arethe joined from paris. what will this acquisition add to their portfolio? u.s.he get to drug in the which is probably going to receive approval from the fda toward the end of this year. analyst think that could have a billion dollar annual sale after a few years. as a drug for a lung disease. riche is known for cancer drugs. they already have a sales force in the u.s. that sells respiratory products. this is a very promising drug. if they don't need to hire a sales force for it. they can run it through their existing salesforce. this is the kind of thing that roche has said they want to go out and find. >> bloombergr news reported thatoche was pursuing a different deal. what happened to the deal with the japanese company? isit seems what happened they made an overture to that japanese company and the management signaled they were not interested. he you can come back with a better offer or look elsewhere. they decided to look elsewhere. when we talk to executives, there is so much m&a going on in the industr

also, intermune soaring after roche decided to buy it for about 74 bucks a share. intermune up 36% on the trade. then there is ann inc., parent of ann taylor stores, moving higher after two activist investors called on the company to put itself up for sale. ann shares up about 6.5% on the trade. and let's end with one that's moving lower. grubhub is moving lower on news that online food ordering company who was going to sell 10 million shares of its company in a secondary stock offering. its shares there down near session lows, off by about 8%. so, scott, kelly, lots of green, grubhub, a notable one, to the downside. back to you guys. >> dom, thanks so much. >>> new home sales dropping for a third straight month. diana olick, what's going on? >> scott it was a disappointing number, but these census numbers are really volatile. a very wide margin of error on this. so, you have to look at june to understand what happened in july, so let's do that. the street was looking for annualized sales from june's 406,000 and got 412,000, but june was revised way up to 422,000.

our jon najarian tracking activity ahead of its deal with roche.his is the kind of stuff you look for. >> you bet. >> what did you find? >> in fact, fahad, one of our guys, found this unusual activity on friday, the 8th of august. and the reason that's key, folks, oun the 11th there was actually blog chatter about a potential these guys may be teaming up with ai roche or somebody big from overseas. well, these particular options were bought the january 50 calls. just out of the money, judge. these calls were bought about 1800 on the friday and then about 3,000 the following monday. so then wednesday, goldman sachs comes out and says hey, there's nothing going on here. everybody move along. huge turnover on in the stock that particular day. then yesterday the deal gets announced at 74 bucks a share. all-cash deal. so obviously the options that they bought right around this time frame, judge, for $3.70 spiked all the way here towards 25 bucks a share. so a fantastic move there. and like i say, this was before any of the blog chatter out there may hav
