What are Wall Street analysts saying about Shire stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Shire stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sales of Shire’s Mydayis showed promise in the first six months of launch. Also, strong performance of Vyvanse, Cinryze and Elaprase continue to drive its top line. The label expansion of Firazyr in pediatrics and approval of Lyophilized Oncaspar in Europe should continue to drive the top line going ahead. The hematology and immunology segment, acquired from Baxalta, gave a major boost to product sales. The approval of Xiidra has boosted the company’s ophthalmology portfolio. Though the adult ADHD space is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of the market, it is highly genericized. Supply shortage for Cinryze and generic competition for Lialda had an unfavorable impact on the top line. Moreover, its shares have underperformed the industry in the past year. Estimates movement remains mixed ahead of the Q1 earnings results. The company has a positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters." (4/23/2018)
2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Though it has not been confirmed by Shire yet, headlines from Reuters are reporting that Takeda (Not Covered) has made a takeover offer to Shire worth ~46.50 pounds/share (~$198 per ADS), which we estimate translates to ~ $61B (see Exhibit 1 on page 3 for details). Based on our conversations with shareholders, this seems like a reasonable starting price for a negotiation, but we think people will want to see $200+ unless it’s all cash." (4/16/2018)
3. Royal Bank of Canada analysts commented, "We don’t have a clue on the contribution of PhotonBlade in the qtr. FY18 guidance will be critical. Consensus currently is ~$52M. A number below consensus will be parsed almost immediately as to implied PhotonBlade / non- PhotonBlade growth." (2/5/2018)
