    Britain's top share index retreated on Monday but posted a fifth straight month of gains, as advertising group WPP rose after reporting its third-quarter results.
    The blue chip FTSE 100 <.FTSE> index was down 0.6 percent at 6,954.22 points by the close, but up 0.8 percent for October.

    Shares in WPP (>> WPP PLC) rose 4 percent and posted their biggest daily gain in four months. WPP, the world's largest advertising group, reported results in line with expectations.

    "We are encouraged by the positive nature of this morning’s update and remain fundamentally positive on WPP’s ability to capitalise on a solid medium-term outlook for global advertising spend," Roddy Davidson, an analyst at Shore Capital Markets, said in a note.

    However, investors were less optimistic about some forthcoming earnings. The top fallers were Shire (>> Shire PLC), which reports results on Tuesday, and Next (>> NEXT plc), whose results are due on Wednesday, down 2.8 percent and 3.2 percent respectively.

    The FTSE 100 index posted a fifth month of gains in a row for the first time since early 2013. The index has been buoyed by a rally in banks and mining companies.

    Banks were boosted by last week's well-received earnings from Barclays (>> Barclays PLC) and Lloyds (>> Lloyds Banking Group PLC), with the FTSE 350 banking sector <.FTNMX8350> hitting its highest level for the year.

    October saw the FTSE 100 set a record high of 7,129.83 points. A weaker pound has bolstered the index, which has rallied about 10 percent since Britain voted in June to leave the European Union. The cheaper pound helps the index's international, dollar-earning firms.

    Some analysts, however, were more cautious on the outlook for British shares.

    "(The FTSE) is still continuing the positive run of gains since Brexit, so it's a Brexit bounce. But it's run into that previous record high ... and pulled back quite significantly from there," said Jasper Lawler, market analyst at CMC Markets.

    Investors, he added, were holding back before upcoming central bank interest rate decisions and the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 8.

    "I think no one's really got the confidence to buy the market up through into new record highs."

    The more domestically exposed FTSE 250 index <.FTMC> fell 0.6 percent, and was down 1.8 percent for the month of October. It has been weighed down by a spate of profit warnings and big declines from companies including Berendsen (>> Berendsen PLC), Cobham (>> Cobham plc), Senior (>> Senior plc) and Keller (>> Keller Group plc).

    Canada drugmaker Cipher mulls sale - sources

    Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc (>> Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc), a Canadian specialty pharmaceuticals manufacturer, has hired an investment bank to review strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, people familiar with the matter said.
    Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc (>> Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc), a Canadian specialty pharmaceuticals manufacturer, has hired an investment bank to review strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, people familiar with the matter said.

    The strategic review comes amid increased U.S. scrutiny of specialty drug prices, which has weighed on the valuations of many Canadian specialty pharmaceutical companies with U.S. revenues.

    There is no certainty that a sale of Cipher will occur, the people cautioned, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential.

    Shares of Cipher shot up as much as 22 percent after the Reuters report. They were up 8.3 percent on Monday afternoon in Toronto.

    "The company is working with an advisor to consider various strategic alternatives potentially available to enhance shareholder value, with a focus on the U.S. business," Cipher said in a press statement following the report.

    Toronto, Ontario-based Cipher, which has a market capitalization of $89.5 million, specializes in treatments for skin disorders. Its products include Nuvail, a topical film that treats fragile nails, and Bionect, which treats skin irritations. It has about $35 million in debt, according to regulatory filings.

    Cipher shares have dropped more than 70 percent from 2015 highs amid a broader pullback in the specialty pharmaceutical sector that has also impacted shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc (>> Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc) and Concordia International Corp (>> Concordia International Corp).

    Concordia explored strategic alternatives earlier this year, before opting to improve liquidity by raising debt. Valeant has said it plans to sell about $8 billion in assets to help pay down its $30 billion debt pile.

    Cipher has been in the spotlight since its largest shareholder, John Mull, in July published a letter calling for the company's board to consider trimming its size, replacing some members of the management team and reviewing its business model. He did not call on the company to sell itself.

    In August, the board reconstituted itself, with four board members stepping down and three joining. Last month, Mull, who owns nearly 40 percent of the company, was appointed chair of the board of directors and Stephen Lemieux took over from Norman Evans as chief financial officer.

    Last year, Cipher acquired dermatology company Innocutis Holdings LLC for $45 million. In May, it bought the rights to a tattoo removal cream from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.
