9:38 ET -- GSK PLC and Sanofi SA are among the most talked about companies in the U.S. across all news items in the last 12 hours, according to Factiva data. A U.S. judge dismissed a series of lawsuits, numbering in the tens of thousands, around the Zantac heartburn treatment that both GSK and Sanofi had marketed. The judge in a multidistrict ruling concluded there was no scientific evidence to support the claim Zantac's active ingredient was carcinogenic. The decision could be appealed. U.S.-traded shares of GSK and Sanofi opened roughly 0.9% and 1.8% lower, respectively. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (robb.stewart@wsj.com)
