Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Endo International PLC stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "2017 will continue to be challenging for Endo as the generics base business and the legacy branded pain franchise are expected to decline further. Shares of Endo have significantly underperformed the Medical-Drugs industry in the past one year. The company’s Generic segment is also under pressure given the challenging competitive landscape and pricing pressures. With the  company pulling off Opana ER from the market over growing concern of opioid abuse epidemic, the top-line will be further impacted. Also, the Branded segment continues to be under pressure due to additional competitive entrants as well as a continuous rise in the number of public policy and regulatory actions. Nevertheless, Endo’s growth-by-acquisition strategy is impressive. Endo’s top line should continue to benefit from robust performance of Xiaflex and sterile injectables." (7/28/2017)
• 2. JMP Securities analysts commented, "The FDA panel voted 8 yes, 18 no, and 1 abstain on whether Opana ER's benefits outweigh the risk. The FDA was concerned that the new Opana ER formulation just shifts the abuse route from nasal to injections. We do not view Opana ER as a growth driver and it is only 4% of our 2017 revenue estimate while declining 13% y/y. Our $20 price target includes an equal blend of PEG ratio and EV/EBITDA analysis of 1.3x and 8.5x, respectively, on our 2017 estimates." (3/15/2017)
• 3. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "Yesterday's AdComs' vote of 18 to 8 (one abstain) on OPANA ER's benefits no longer outweighing its risks will push a decision on the product's fate back to FDA. Whether it is removed or sees added restrictions we think it is likely we will see some downward P&L pressure but it is also worth noting that the stock was -25% in Mar ahead of the anticipated panel." (3/15/2017)
• 4. Mizuho analysts commented, " We still like ENDP and its significant optionality, and we see upside to the stock for the following reasons: (1) Endo can likely sell Xiaflex for a healthy multiple with minimal EBITDA downside after cutting $30M in R&D expense for the planned cellulite trial and expenses tied to ~100 reps. (2) Endo may beat expectations following its conservative guide and/or longer than expected persistence of the Somar business, which is now also for sale. (3) Its high gross margin (55%) generic business with an attractive 117 ANDA pipeline, with 35 "first to files", is likely to attract consolidators in our view. (4) Its U.S.-based manufacturing plants contributed 95% of its production based on revenue, which may appeal to a potential buyer in the current political environment. We attribute remaining risk to a potential increase to the mesh liability accrual, but the company always has the option to litigate and delay. ENDP could therefore work in 2017 following an asset sale or takeover speculation. We reiterate our Buy rating and raise PT to $17 from $15 as we lower our WACC to 10% from 11% after mgmt. re-set expectations and the outlook." (3/3/2017)
• 5. Guggenheim analysts commented, "ENDP reported a 4Q16 beat and guided down for '17, which was expected given pricing pressure in generics. Lack of earnings visibility in '18 remains a concern. That said, we think patience will be rewarded and execution against its stated objectives will drive multiple expansion for ENDP's stock toward our $35 PT. Also, ENDP continues to be open to strategic alternatives if it cannot enhance shareholder value on its own. We think ENDP could simplify its business by selling its brand assets to pay down debt. In our view, ENDP is also an interesting generics asset (#4 player) in a consolidating industry." (2/28/2017)
