Monday, May 13, 12:20 PM Endo Health Solutions (ENDP -2.6%) appears to have stabilized today, albeit lower, following a couple of trading halts on volatility just prior to Friday's close after the FDA denied its petition to halt generic competition to its painkiller Opana ER on safety grounds. The ruling will mean a big hit to earnings next quarter, and likely lead exploring options to mitigate the damage. Jefferies says the FDA was wrong, and acted "irrationally inconsistent" in its decision. Nonetheless, the firm lowers its price target on the shares from $47.00 to $37.00. Comment!

Friday, May 10, 4:15 PM Today's decision by the FDA on Endo's (ENDP -5.3%) Opana ER puts to rest an aggressive campaign begun last October by the drug developer to keep generic versions off the market. In the end, the agency comes full circle, reiterating that the original formulation of Opana ER was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, generic versions of the original formulation can continue to be approved and marketed. Following a brief resumption of trading just before the closing bell, the stock has since been halted a second time. Comment! [Healthcare, On the Move]

Tuesday, May 7, 4:02 PM Endo Health (ENDP +0.8%) is set to finish in the green today, despite posting a mixed Q1. Net earnings swung to a profit amid fewer write-downs and other items, as well as a modest revenue increase on strong generic sales growth. Generic sales +23% at $178M, while branded-pharmaceutical sales declined 2% to $358M. Lidoderm sales dropped 11%, mostly owing to its supply agreement with Actavis (ACT). Sales of Opana ER slumped 31% as sales continue to lag following a disruption early last year resulting from the closing of a Novartis (NVS) plant. Comment! [Healthcare, Earnings]

Tuesday, April 16, 7:34 PM Endo Health Solutions (ENDP) trades higher after hours as the FDA says it won't approve generic copies of the old version of OxyContin. The first patent on the old version expired today, and drug makers had been lining up to make copies. But the newer, reformulated OxyContin was found to be tougher to crush, break or dissolve, the FDA said, and "the benefits of the old formulation no longer outweigh its risks." Shares +5.6% AH.
