    "It seems CSL is becoming the next MSB..."

    I think there are a few not-so-subtle differences between CSL and MSB, starting with the following:

    Shares on Issue (2024 vs 2014):
    CSL: 484m (2024) vs 474m (2014)... Increase = negligible
    MSB: 1.142bn (2024) vs 324m (2014) ...Increase = 3.5 times higher

    Cumulative Free Cash Flow (past 5 years):
    CSL: positive US$7.0bn
    MSB: negative $350m

    If a CSL trial fails (as has happened recently), the share price goes down a few percent
    If a MSB trial fails, the equity goes to donut.

    There are umpteen more differences, but in the interests of brevity I'll leave it there for consideration.
