Pacira Pharmaceuticals (PCRX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Pacira BioSciences demonstrated solid growth with Exparel achieving a 5.5% year-over-year sales increase in the fourth quarter of 2025, totaling $155.8 million, supported by a 7% growth in unit volumes which effectively offset pricing discounting from a new group purchasing organization (GPO) partnership. Additionally, full-year Exparel revenue rose by 4.8% year-over-year to $575.1 million, reflecting strong performance in the latter half of the year and reinforcing the investment thesis of increased adoption driven by favorable clinical and reimbursement conditions. The company's commitment to advancing its pipeline of non-opioid pain management solutions, coupled with durable improvements in patient outcomes, creates a positive outlook for future revenue growth.
Bears say
Pacira BioSciences Inc. is experiencing significant pressures evidenced by a slight miss in top-line revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025, alongside a decline in Zilretta sales, which fell approximately 1% year-over-year. The company faces multiple key risks, including potential generic competition for its leading product, Exparel, and challenges in securing ongoing reimbursement under the NOPAIN Act, which could impact sales moving forward. Additionally, concerns over the company's ability to diversify away from Exparel and successfully launch new products such as PCRX-201 further exacerbate the negative outlook on its financial stability.
