RESEARCH ALERT - Watson Pharmaceutical (NYSE:WPI) cut

Reuters, Monday, March 23, 1998 at 16:15

NEW YORK, March 23 (Reuters) - SBC Warburg Dillon Read said
on Monday it lowered its rating on shares of Watson
Pharmaceuticals Inc to outperform on buy.
-- Mylan Laboratories Inc (NYSE:MYL) said it won approval from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to manufacture and market
a generic version of the hypertension drug "Dilacor XR."
-- Watson, which acquired the rights to the Dilacor XR
brand from Rhone Poulenc Rorer in June 1997 for $190 million,
is generating close to $80 million in annualized sales from the
brand product and also holds roughly 75 percent of generic
market, analyst Jerry Treppel said in research note.
-- Dilacor is easily company's most important product.
-- Treppel believes stock's upside will be limited over
near-term because of lack of visibility about what company's
next major growth drivers will be.
-- Stock down 4-1/16 to 36-3/4.
