ASRT: Generic Risk Extends Timeline, PT $6

By Hamed Khorsand

  • ASRT reported better than expected second quarter revenue, but surprised investors with the announcement of a generic competitor for Indocin leading to management pulling guidance.
  • Indocin has been on the market for many years and generic competition was likely. Yet, there is no information on how well the competitor could manufacture enough indomethacin 
  • We do not believe the third quarter is at risk and we doubt more generic competitors would surface.
