Feeling lonesome, Will?
My reading of the annual report and recent 10-Q is that Akorn needs growth to fully utilize, and pay for, its facilities and staff. To some extent, that growth is restrained by lack of financing. Since the secondary offering was pulled due to market conditions, this issue has been in front of us.
On a year-over-year basis, the company has grown through product acquisition. But on a sequential basis, they had a flat quarter. Comments in the annual report about seeking partners to develop new products and use of a product review committee make sense to me. Even though they will have to trade some upside on partnered products, this seems to be the least dilutive avenue available.
I anticipate some rebound on partnering news, _if_ and _when_.
Thanks, Bard of Akorn -:) |
