Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Eagle Pharmaceuticals stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company. It focuses on developing and commercializing injectable products primarily in the critical care and oncology areas in the United States. The Company markets EP-1101 to treat heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. It develops EP-3101, EP-3102, Ryanodex and EP-4104. Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is based in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. " (7/31/2017)
• 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We remain cautious on 2017 revenue, the exertional heat stroke (EHS) launch, and lower takeout probability: Eagle reported 4Q:16 revs of $81.1M and GAAP EPS of $3.52 vs. FactSet consensus $86.0M and $2.82. Mgmt introduced FY:17 SG&A guidance of $65-$68M and $31-$35M in R&D. Consensus models are in line with these expense ranges, but we think that 2017 revenue expectations (particularly Ryanodex) need to come down based on a slower EHS ramp. Because we now have a better appreciation for the hurdles associated with this launch, we also lowered our probability of takeout to 40%, from 50% previously. On a standalone basis, we think that EGRX is only worth $54/share so the stock already reflects expectations of a takeout, in our view. We reiterate our Underperform rating and $66 PT, which are based on a weighted blend of DCF ($54) and SOTP ($85) valuations." (3/17/2017)
