Re: OT - CIEN
So yesterday I recommended VRX, saying the bad stuff is all
priced in. Today, up 10% at the open, Morgan Stanley going
bullish:
Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.
VRX shot up 9.7% in active premarket trade
Wednesday, after Morgan Stanley analyst David Risinger turned
bullish on the drug maker, citing the belief that major risks to
the company have already been priced into the stock. Risinger
raised his rating to overweight, after being at in line since
October 2015. He raised his stock price target to $42, which is 58%
above Tuesday's closing price of $26.60, from $27. "Risk of severe
financial stress should diminish as [debt] covenants are
renegotiated and [Valeant] pays down debt, and deleveraging should
drive equity value accretion," Risinger wrote in a note to clients.
Regarding risks of drug pricing resets, Risinger said Valeant has
already experienced step downs in net pricing and access, and he
his valuation estimates already account for generic competition for
the company's most controversial drugs--Isuprel and
Nitropress--over the next six to 12 months. The stock, which was on
course to open at a 2 1/2-month high, had plunged 74% year to date
through Tuesday.
