Shire approval another potential headwind for Allergan, says Piper Jaffray


Shire approval another potential headwind for Allergan, says Piper Jaffray. Piper Jaffray analyst David views Shire’s (SHPG) FDA approval Friday for its 5-HT4 receptor agonist Motegrity in chronic idiopathic constipation as another potential headwind for Allergan’s (AGN) Linzess. The headwind is not necessarily in terms of pressure on volumes, but more in terms of the potential for a more challenging payer environment, Amsellem tells investors in a research note. The analyst remains cautious on Allergan given his concerns regarding the trajectory of the commercial portfolio as well as its pipeline. Amsellem reiterates a Neutral rating on the stock with a $164 price target.
