Leerink Swann &Amp; Company Initiates Coverage of Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: TARO)
Posted on: Wednesday, 18 January 2006, 12:00 CST
This morning, Senior Specialty Pharmaceuticals Analyst, William F. Sawyer, initiated coverage of Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NASDAQ: TARO) with a Market Perform rating. Mr. Sawyer rates Taro Market Perform because of the unpredictability of its generics business at this time due to possible continued wholesaler de-stocking and increased competition within the generic topicals market. He also believes current consensus estimates may be overly optimistic. Longer-term, he believes Taro's eventual participation in the generic injectables market could enable solid revenue and EPS growth.
