Perrigo Company

NASDAQ

Perrigo is one of the largest consumer health companies in the world. Since 2018, Perrigo divested its animal health and generic pharmaceuticals businesses to solely focus on consumer self-care. In North America (two thirds of total sales), the firm's product mix is anchored in private-label consumer health goods, which are sold to major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and CVS. Perrigo also plays in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia where it primarily generates revenue through its national brands, including Compeed, Solpadeine, Coldrex, and ellaOne.

Earnings Scheduled For May 7, 2025

J.P. Morgan says Perrigo Company plc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>) first-quarter 2025 earnings will be dominated by commentary on the potential impact of tariffs. The analyst says, &#8220;Tariffs could potentially have a significant impact on PRGO&#8217;s near-term earnings.&#8221;
Analysts forecast adjusted earnings of 55 cents per share, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales of $1.09 billion</a>.
Analyst Chris Schott says tariffs could lead the OTC drugs company to a low to mid-single-digit impact on global COGS on an annualized basis, and that the company expects to offset this impact with supply chain efficiencies and price actions.

This mainly affects the oral care business, some of which is sourced from China, and the infant formula business, which uses ingredients from both China and India.
The company originally expected to reduce the impact through supply chain improvements and price increases. However, a few challenges remain:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tariffs on Chinese products</a> have gone up significantly since April 2.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s still unclear how pharmaceutical tariffs will turn out, and any tariff on ingredients could affect Perrigo.</li>
<li>The company&#8217;s price hikes have usually lagged behind rising costs.</li>
<li>Since PRGO operates with lower profit margins than its peers, it&#8217;s harder for them to absorb these extra costs.</li>
</ul>
Schott says it&#8217;s hard to predict the short-term impact on Perrigo&#8217;s business, since higher costs without raising prices could hurt its earnings. However, the company is expected to pass most of those cost increases on to consumers, so any effect on its earnings beyond 2026 should be small.
&#8220;Net-net, while tariffs will clearly impact near-term earnings (which is obviously less than ideal with PRGO just seeing a rebound in earnings following its 1H24 nutritional headwinds), we anticipate the company to be able to largely offset said impact by 2026,&#8221; Schott writes.
Price Action: PRGO stock is down 4.70% at $24.13 at the last check Monday.

<li>&#8216;Strengthening&#8217; successful areas by focusing on and boosting investments in key &#8216;High-Grow&#8217; brands</li>

According to JP Morgan, U.S. large-cap biopharma stocks have underperformed the broader market for two consecutive years, with mixed sentiment shaping investor outlook for 2025.
Despite strong fundamentals and advancements in drug pipelines, factors such as political uncertainty and sector rotation have hindered the sector's performance relative to the S&amp;P 500.
In 2024, biopharma stocks rose by 9.6%, falling short of the S&amp;P 500's 28.5% surge. However, JP Morgan analysts maintain a positive outlook for several key players.
Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), a top pick for the firm, is projected to see continued growth in its diabetes and obesity treatments, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mounjaro and Zepbound</a>. The analyst also pointed to the company's robust pipeline and forecasted double-digit revenue and earnings growth into the 2030s.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) has been added to JP Morgan's Analyst Focus List due to the strong potential of its schizophrenia drug, Cobenfy, which could achieve peak sales of $10 billion.
Similarly, Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) are expected to recover in 2025, following challenges in 2024 related to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38208816/eye-drug-eylea-price-manipulation-regeneron-faces-us-justice-department-allegations-over-medicare" rel="noreferrer noopener">competitive pressures </a>and regional dynamics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40168774/mercks-blockbuster-vaccine-gardasil-sales-in-china-analyst-highlights-challenges-an" rel="noreferrer noopener">affecting key products</a>.
Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) is poised for growth with the anticipated mid-2025 launch of lenacapavir <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GILD" rel="noreferrer noopener">for HIV prevention</a>.
The firm also highlighted AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) for its appealing valuation, supported by strong Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales despite fewer near-term <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline developments</a>.
Animal health stocks are also projected to rebound in 2025. JP Morgan views Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>) as the strongest pick in the sector, citing its potential for high single-digit revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41722660/zoetis-q3-earnings-beat-companion-animal-segment-growth-gives-confidence-into-2025-" rel="noreferrer noopener">growth and margin expansion</a>. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>) is another solid choice, though its performance depends on a r<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41659873/idexx-laboratories-adjusts-guidance-as-q3-revenue-growth-slows-analyst-notes-fewer-" rel="noreferrer noopener">ecovery in veterinary visits</a>.

Specialty pharmaceuticals showed early signs of stabilization in 2024, benefiting from improved pricing stability and supply dynamics. Perrigo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>) and Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) are highlighted as promising opportunities, while Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) may face growth challenges despite delivering strong clinical trial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42561832/teva-pharmaceutical-releases-impressive-phase-2-candidate-data-for-gastro-related-diseases" rel="noreferrer noopener">results this year</a>.
