Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Pacira Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. Mizuho analysts commented, "We valued Pacira based on an equally weighted blend of discounted cash flow analysis and sum-of-the-parts valuation. This analysis generates our $43 price target, supporting our Neutral rating." (11/1/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Pacira’s top line mainly comprises contribution from its marketed product-Exparel. It is making efforts to expand Exparel's label. In April 2018, the FDA approved Pacira’s sNDA seeking expansion of the Exparel label to include administration via nerve block for prolonged regional analgesia. However, the company is heavily dependent on Exparel for growth, which accounts for a significant chunk of its revenues. This is a concern for the company. Exparel also competes with well-established products for postsurgical pain management." (7/15/2018)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and risks. Our $48 12-month target is based on an average of our $55/share DCF (10% WACC discount rate; 1% terminal growth beyond 2024) and a $41/share P/E multiple derived valuation (30x fully-taxed 2020 EPS, or 1x PEG, discounted back)."
