Given the recent increase in market volatility I wanted to share a Stock of the Week that fits the times. This led me to select Amneal Pharmaceuticals (AMRX).
It makes sense now because stocks in more defensive groups generally hold up better under market volatility. So that’s a good reason to consider a healthcare stock.
On the other hand, this is a small cap drug company with explosive upside potential. So that means it should thrive when the next bull run charges ahead.
Let’s focus on that growth story.
Right now they are expected to grow earnings 38% year over year. For as strong as that sounds, please remember they have averaged a 33% beat the past few quarters. So likely earnings growth will end up even higher than expected.
One major growth catalyst has been the launch of CREXONT (for Parkinson’s disease), which management highlighted as a standout contributor. Other newer products, including injectable and complex medicines (not just plain tablets), are also gaining traction.
All in all, the che company leverages its ability to make “complex dosage forms” — injectables, inhalants, ophthalmics, etc. — which limits competition and tends to command better margins.
This is more than just a story. It shows up “loud and clear” in their stellar Zen Ratings profile:
Top 24% AI timeliness factor
Top 21% Growth
Top 20% Safety
Top 11% Value
Top 10% Sentiment
Not a single Component Grade is lower than top 30% (Financials). That well rounded goodness adds up to an elite A grade overall in the top 1.8% of all stocks we analyze.
Wall Street is pounding the table too. That’s because all covering analysts give it a Strong Buy recommendation.
The lowest target price calls for nearly 30% upside in the year ahead. Whereas the street high $19 points to greater than 50% gains in the year ahead.
Yet if they keep up their beat and raise traditions of the past, then I think the future holds a likely doubling of these shares by the end of 2027.
AMRX just might be the right prescription for your portfolio.
