Amphastar Pharmaceuticals shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q4 financial results.

On Thursday, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMPH#NASDAQ">AMPH</a>) reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of 92 cents, up from 88 cents a year ago, but missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 94 cents</a>.
Amphastar is a biopharmaceutical company focusing primarily on developing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling generic and proprietary injectable, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/ac44024962/amphastar-pharmaceuticals-reports-financial-results-for-the-three-months-and-full-year-ended-dece" rel="noreferrer noopener">inhalation, and intranasal products</a>.
The company reported sales of $186.5 million, up 20% year over year, missing the consensus of $188.81 million.
Jack Zhang, Amphastar&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, &#8220;We are incredibly proud that in 2024, we exceeded our long-term goal of achieving&nbsp;$100 million&nbsp;in annual sales for Primatene MIST, and we look forward to continuing to grow the brand. Furthermore, BAQSIMI&nbsp;showed strong factory sales growth of 12% compared to the fourth quarter of last year. As we look ahead to 2025, we plan to continue developing and growing our proprietary pipeline.&#8221;

Primatene MIST&nbsp;exceeded the long-term goal of&nbsp;$100 million&nbsp;in annual sales (around $29 million in the quarter), while&nbsp;BAQSIMI&nbsp;contributed&nbsp;$41.8 million&nbsp;in direct sales during the fourth quarter alone ($126.9 million&nbsp;for the full year).
JP Morgan says the company has seen some setbacks over the past several months, including a competitive approval for glucagon (~15% of Amphastar revenues) and several pipeline delays.
Analyst Ekaterina Knyazkova sees limited downside for the stock as Amphastar shares are now in the low $30s. Primatene MIST and Baqsimi continue growing, with the current valuation reflecting little value for Amphastar&#8217;s extensive R&amp;D efforts and pipeline.
JP Morgan maintains the Overweight rating for Amphastar&#8217;s stock with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMPH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $45.</a>
Price Action: AMPH stock is down 8.35% at $28.86 at the last check Friday.

JP Morgan notes that while there&#8217;s a resurgence of interest and excitement in new product launches within the specialty group, including branded and complex generics/biosimilars, investors should be discerning about these opportunities.
The group&#8217;s core fundamentals have strengthened, buoyed by a more stable environment for generic and established brand pricing, which helps mitigate the usual erosion in base business prices.
However, growth in the overall sector remains modest, with most companies experiencing a top-line compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0-2%.
Additionally, valuations have recovered, with most stocks now trading near their historical averages.
JP Morgan writes that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) continues to be the primary focus among investors in the group, with sentiment growing more bullish.
The analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEVA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains a Neutral rating</a>, as the market seems to have fully accounted for the company&#8217;s branded pipeline. Additionally, JP Morgan is cautious about Teva&#8217;s U.S. generic business compared to market expectations.
The analyst has given Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VTRS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Neutral rating</a>, citing its stable fundamentals and low valuation amidst uncertainties in business development.
Meanwhile, JP Morgan holds a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PRGO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">more optimistic view</a>, an Overweight rating on Perrigo Co plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>), noting the potential for earnings per share (EPS) to rebound to the low-mid $3 range soon due to currently low market sentiment. With shares currently trading at a significantly lower price than other consumer sector peers, the analyst believes there is substantial potential for an increase in valuation multiples as the recovery progresses.
Similarly, positive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMPH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">prospects are seen</a> for Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMPH#NASDAQ">AMPH</a>), where the analyst anticipates a promising series of catalysts leading into 2024/2025. Keeps Overweight rating.
JP Morgan is adjusting several ratings, which are relative to each other. The analyst has changed Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMRX#NASDAQ">AMRX</a>) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMRX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral from Underweight</a> and Organon &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGN#NYSE">OGN</a>) to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OGN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underweight from Neutral</a>.
For Amneal, the company&#8217;s success in launching new products suggests the potential for improved financial forecasts, which could bolster the stock.
Conversely, Organon&#8217;s stock price has increased 60% year-to-date. Although its valuation still appears low, the recent price surge suggests more attractive opportunities within the sector may exist.
Price Action: OGN stock is down 2.95% at $20.73, and AMRX stock is down 1.42% at $8.33 at last check Friday.
