Pacira Pharmaceuticals (PCRX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Pacira BioSciences Inc. is experiencing a robust volume growth trend for its flagship product, EXPAREL, which recorded a 9% year-over-year increase in volume during the third quarter. Despite a slight misalignment in revenue due to factors like a shift in vial mix and discounting associated with a new group purchasing organization, EXPAREL still generated $140 million in revenue, highlighting the product's strong market presence and demand. Furthermore, the company is well-positioned for continued growth as it diversifies its revenue streams and expands its pipeline of non-opioid analgesics, supported by sustained improvements in patient outcomes and the anticipated increased adoption of EXPAREL in outpatient surgical settings.
Bears say
Pacira BioSciences faces significant risks that foster a negative outlook, primarily stemming from competitive pressures on its flagship product, Exparel, due to potential generic entrants and emerging non-opioid analgesics. In addition, the company's reliance on Exparel is a concern as it has been in the market for 14 years, with new growth initiatives, like nerve blocks, proving uncertain. Financially, the company has reduced its 2025 revenue forecast to $725 million and its EBITDA to $200 million, reflecting disappointing results from the NOPAIN Act's impact on Exparel sales and raising doubts about its future market performance.
