“We model a slight increase to $296.1M in 3Q:18, but note that FactSet consensus is currently $277.8M, setting up the quarter for a potential beat. Because Mallinckrodt is not planning to disclose its VTS-270 data before late November/December, we believe the quarter has been generally de-risked after this Praxair announcement.”
