Perrigo Company

NASDAQ

Perrigo is one of the largest consumer health companies in the world. Since 2018, Perrigo divested its animal health and generic pharmaceuticals businesses to solely focus on consumer self-care. In North America (two thirds of total sales), the firm's product mix is anchored in private-label consumer health goods, which are sold to major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and CVS. Perrigo also plays in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia where it primarily generates revenue through its national brands, including Compeed, Solpadeine, Coldrex, and ellaOne.

According to JP Morgan, U.S. large-cap biopharma stocks have underperformed the broader market for two consecutive years, with mixed sentiment shaping investor outlook for 2025.
Despite strong fundamentals and advancements in drug pipelines, factors such as political uncertainty and sector rotation have hindered the sector's performance relative to the S&amp;P 500.
In 2024, biopharma stocks rose by 9.6%, falling short of the S&amp;P 500's 28.5% surge. However, JP Morgan analysts maintain a positive outlook for several key players.
Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), a top pick for the firm, is projected to see continued growth in its diabetes and obesity treatments, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mounjaro and Zepbound</a>. The analyst also pointed to the company's robust pipeline and forecasted double-digit revenue and earnings growth into the 2030s.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) has been added to JP Morgan's Analyst Focus List due to the strong potential of its schizophrenia drug, Cobenfy, which could achieve peak sales of $10 billion.
Similarly, Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) are expected to recover in 2025, following challenges in 2024 related to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38208816/eye-drug-eylea-price-manipulation-regeneron-faces-us-justice-department-allegations-over-medicare" rel="noreferrer noopener">competitive pressures </a>and regional dynamics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40168774/mercks-blockbuster-vaccine-gardasil-sales-in-china-analyst-highlights-challenges-an" rel="noreferrer noopener">affecting key products</a>.
Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) is poised for growth with the anticipated mid-2025 launch of lenacapavir <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GILD" rel="noreferrer noopener">for HIV prevention</a>.
The firm also highlighted AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) for its appealing valuation, supported by strong Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales despite fewer near-term <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline developments</a>.
Animal health stocks are also projected to rebound in 2025. JP Morgan views Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>) as the strongest pick in the sector, citing its potential for high single-digit revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41722660/zoetis-q3-earnings-beat-companion-animal-segment-growth-gives-confidence-into-2025-" rel="noreferrer noopener">growth and margin expansion</a>. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>) is another solid choice, though its performance depends on a r<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41659873/idexx-laboratories-adjusts-guidance-as-q3-revenue-growth-slows-analyst-notes-fewer-" rel="noreferrer noopener">ecovery in veterinary visits</a>.

Specialty pharmaceuticals showed early signs of stabilization in 2024, benefiting from improved pricing stability and supply dynamics. Perrigo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>) and Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) are highlighted as promising opportunities, while Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) may face growth challenges despite delivering strong clinical trial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42561832/teva-pharmaceutical-releases-impressive-phase-2-candidate-data-for-gastro-related-diseases" rel="noreferrer noopener">results this year</a>.

JP Morgan notes that while there&#8217;s a resurgence of interest and excitement in new product launches within the specialty group, including branded and complex generics/biosimilars, investors should be discerning about these opportunities.
The group&#8217;s core fundamentals have strengthened, buoyed by a more stable environment for generic and established brand pricing, which helps mitigate the usual erosion in base business prices.
However, growth in the overall sector remains modest, with most companies experiencing a top-line compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0-2%.
Additionally, valuations have recovered, with most stocks now trading near their historical averages.
JP Morgan writes that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) continues to be the primary focus among investors in the group, with sentiment growing more bullish.
The analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEVA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Neutral rating</a>, as the market seems to have fully accounted for the company&#8217;s branded pipeline. Additionally, JP Morgan is cautious about Teva&#8217;s U.S. generic business compared to market expectations.
The analyst has given Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VTRS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Neutral rating</a>, citing its stable fundamentals and low valuation amidst uncertainties in business development.
Meanwhile, JP Morgan holds a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PRGO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">more optimistic view</a>, an Overweight rating on Perrigo Co plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>), noting the potential for earnings per share (EPS) to rebound to the low-mid $3 range soon due to currently low market sentiment. With shares currently trading at a significantly lower price than other consumer sector peers, the analyst believes there is substantial potential for an increase in valuation multiples as the recovery progresses.
Similarly, positive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMPH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">prospects are seen</a> for Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMPH#NASDAQ">AMPH</a>), where the analyst anticipates a promising series of catalysts leading into 2024/2025. Keeps Overweight rating.
JP Morgan is adjusting several ratings, which are relative to each other. The analyst has changed Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMRX#NASDAQ">AMRX</a>) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMRX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral from Underweight</a> and Organon &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGN#NYSE">OGN</a>) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OGN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underweight from Neutral</a>.
For Amneal, the company&#8217;s success in launching new products suggests the potential for improved financial forecasts, which could bolster the stock.
Conversely, Organon&#8217;s stock price has increased 60% year-to-date. Although its valuation still appears low, the recent price surge suggests more attractive opportunities within the sector may exist.
Price Action: OGN stock is down 2.95% at $20.73, and AMRX stock is down 1.42% at $8.33 at last check Friday.
