On CAPS, 347 of the 364 members who have rated Endo -- 95% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Trimalerus, who is ranked in the top 0.05% of our community, and the third-ranked member in all of CAPS tenmiles.
Last month, Trimalerus followed one of CAPS' leaders and highlighted Endo as a healthy play:
This stock has good profitability and looks to be a good buy under $18. Obama has promised to have our Healthcare System overhauled by the end of the year and this is one stock that should see a benefit. Also tenmiles one of my favorite members just picked this to outperform. Crowd sourcing rocks!
In the aforementioned pitch from tenmiles, Endo gets tapped as a particularly potent portfolio-pain killer: "Adding a little Percocet to the portfolio. Pharma dealing with various pain control products offers strong balance sheet with high ROE; likely to show relative strength later in the summer in advance of FDA decision on marketing application for NEBIDO -- buyer around $18."
