1128 GMT - Any comments from Roche Holding about its long-term prospects will be the main focal point when the group provides an update on its diagnostics business next month, UBS analysts say in a research note. Recent clinical-trial results for drug candidates giredestrant in breast cancer and fenebrutinib in multiple sclerosis, as well as for Gazyva in systemic lupus, mean investors will want to get an update from CEO Thomas Schinecker at the event scheduled for May 12, UBS says. "We expect that Roche management will provide some indicative targets for group top-line growth, and potentially margins, relative to consensus expectations," the analysts say. "We do not expect formal midterm financial guidance as the company has historically only provided 'guidance' for a single year out." Shares rise 0.8%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
