Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Impax Laboratories stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Impax’s Generics segment has been under competitive and pricing pressure, which is expected to persist through 2017. However, the epinephrine auto-injector sales picked up and the company has 24 ANDAs pending FDA approval. The company is also taking steps to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, which is estimated to save a total of $130 million by the end of 2019. However, the company’s 2017 earnings guidance is significantly lower than 2016 numbers as continued impact of lower pricing on generics is expected to hurt revenues. Moreover, the company’s manufacturing facilities had been hampered by quality control issues since 2011 and an inspection had even delayed Rytary’s approval. Impax is also involved in a patent litigation regarding approval of generic version of Rytary. Estimates have been mostly stable ahead of the Q2 results. Impax does not have an impressive record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters." (7/24/2017)
• 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "Impax (IPXL, BUY, $12.70) named Paul Bisaro as its new, full-time CEO earlier today, which increases our confidence that there could be upside to consensus expectations in '17+. Bisaro has 25 years of generic and branded pharma experience, with an impressive track record of execution and transformation at companies like Allergan (AGN, NEUTRAL, $237.33) and its predecessors and Barr Pharmaceuticals (acquired by TEVA [BUY, $32.76] in 2010). Bisaro is also on the Board of Directors of AGN and Zoetis (ZTS, BUY, $53.85)." (3/27/2017)
• 3. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "The stock was down -35% following IPXL's 4Q results and first-time 2017 update (no revenue or EPS given, as expected). We continue to see a number of generic headwinds that will linger as IPXL pursues a leadership change and what we see as needed review of strategic positioning. We lower EPS and target to reflect continued challenges. Remain Sector Perform." (3/2/2017)
• 4. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "an opportunistic one for IPXL and could drive some upside to our Adrenaclick forecasts." (1/13/2017)
