3. Barclays feels Valeant share recovery is possible
Barclays analyst Douglas Tsao says Valeant Pharmaceuticals, relative to other names he covers, has an “attractive collection of assets.” Investors are staying away from the stock because of the debt, Tsao tells investors in a research note where he lowered his price target for the shares to $20 from $34. Valeant closed yesterday up 25c to $14.92. The analyst sees value in the company’s core franchises, specifically Bausch & Lomb, Dermatology and Salix. Selling a core asset would enable the fastest debt pay-down, but the question is what would be left behind to interest investors, the analyst writes. He believes, however, that Valeant has the opportunity “to stabilize and perhaps even grow” with the upcoming brodalumab and Vyzulti launches. The new products could reach sales of $800M by 2020, Tsao estimates. He believes that between non-core asset sales and a recapitalization, it’s possible for Valeant shares to recover “over time.” The analyst keeps an Equal Weight rating on the name.
