Piper Jaffray analyst David Amsellem says he would not view Akorn (AKRX) as a "major fixer-upper" now that it is planning to move forward as a stand-alone company. Much of the pressure on EBITDA in recent years was a function of limited-competition products with brand-like margins, Amsellem tells investors in a research note. Further, the rest of Akorn's product portfolio appears to be stable, says the analyst. In addition, "high-quality" abbreviated new drug application approvals have been happening, "and that matters," argues Amsellem. He keeps an Overweight rating on Akorn with a $9 price target.
