Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Perrigo Company stock:

• 1. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "Date and time of first dissemination: May 22, 2017, 23:13 ET Date and time of production: May 22, 2017, 22:26 ET Target Price / Valuation Methodology: Perrigo Company – PRGO Discounted cash flow analysis supports an $86 valuation for PRGO shares Our discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis leads us to a price target of $86/share for PRGO. Our DCF considers our estimates through 2021, low-single-digit growth through 2033 and zero terminal growth thereafter. In addition, we expect Perrigo’s margin structure to remain somewhat consistent with our 2021 estimates." (5/22/2017)
• 2. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "We updated our model to reflect PRGO's divestiture of the Tysabri royalty stream to Royalty Pharma, which the company expects to complete this month, and preliminary assumptions for de-leveraging with the proceeds. The net effect of these changes was EPS dilution of ~15-20% over 2017-21 and a reduction in our DCF-derived PT to $87 (from $93), as our prior model reflected more value for the Tysabri royalty stream (~$3bn) relative to the upfront payment of $2.2bn. We have not factored in the potential sales-based milestone payments of $650mn, which could add ~$4/share to the theoretical DCF value if they hit. We continue to view PRGO as a unique asset with good value creation potential over the longer term, and are maintaining our Buy rating. Solid execution in the coming quarters will be critical for the stock, in our view." (3/14/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "Unaudited Q4 results were ahead of forecast. But the real story is FY17 guidance and it disappointed even after sharp cuts to Street models just 4 weeks ago. For the first time we can recall both rev & EPS will decline ' not a good story line for an OTC-focused company. Tysabri's sale helps de-lever PRGO but at the same time shrinks the EPS base by ~$2.20. Mgt continues to make moves to enhance shareholder value ' but it may take quite some time to do so." (2/28/2017)
• 4. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "While we expected a challenging 2017 guide, it was worse than we anticipated and came with an unexpected CFO departure. The strategic review around whether to sell Rx/generics will linger, limiting visibility but the conundrum is that we do not see upside in either scenario. We remain on the sidelines with target down to $68. Several additional thoughts after speaking with management this evening." (2/28/2017)
