Friday, May 10, 8:54 AM BMO initiates Allergan (AGN) at Outperform, following a 9.3% drop in share price over the past month. "We believe that after investors digest the recent disappointing pipeline news, sentiment will shift to Allergan's core franchises, many of which have competitive advantages. With a combination of growing core products, continued SG&A leverage, and limited patent expiry exposure, Allergan is in a good position to meet or beat EPS expectations and continue to grow EPS in the 12%-15% range per year for the next several years."
