On CAPS, 30% of the 30 members who have rated Horizon believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just this past weekend, one of those bears, All-Star zzlangerhans, touched on the stock's seemingly unsustainable price run:
Last month a sell-side analyst from Cowen estimated 2016 revenues of [$258 million] from Duexis and [$106 million] from Lodotra. That's quite a bold prediction considering Duexis revenues were [$0.9 million] last quarter and Lodotra hasn't even been approved yet. Both Duexis and Lodotra seem to me to be superfluous anti-inflammatory drugs facing heavy competition from established generics.
