Steadman observed:

“We hosted ANI CEO Art Przybyl at our annual Conference this afternoon. ANI is a specialty pharma with foci on niche generics with limited competition, tail specialty brands that require little promotional effort and a newly-expanded contract manufacturing effort specializing in oral solids and liquids. Within its branded business, we see significant optionality around the Cortrophin asset, a legacy ACTH product that ANI could recommercialize to compete against Mallinckrodt’s Acthar Gel. Recent Wellspring acquisition adds substantial manufacturing capacity along with a deeper CMO revenue pool. ANI’s Wellspring deal brings the company an established Canadian CMO with parallel capabilities to the company’s core facilities in Minnesota.”

According to TipRanks.com, Steadman is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 4.2% and a 39.2% success rate. Steadman covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Perrigo Company plc, and Endo International.
