Craig-Hallum maintains Buy rating, $11 target on Akorn after Fresenius ruling

Craig-Hallum analyst Matt Hewitt said the Delaware Supreme Court ruling in favor of Fresenius (FSNUY) ends any hopes that a merger with Akorn (AKRX) will still occur, which may be a disappointment to some investors. However, it has been his view since the first ruling was announced that Akorn should be valued on a standalone basis. Akorn currently has a large pipeline of higher margin generics and the company’s low-cost manufacturing facility in India has been idled due to the terms of the Fresenius agreement, but is likely to be brought online sometime in FY19 or FY20, Hewitt tells investors. He keeps a Buy rating and $11 price target on Akorn shares, which are down $1.34, or 24%, to $4.25 in afternoon trading.
