On CAPS, 94% of the 207 members who have rated Impax believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include kleyau and MoabRocks.

Just last month, kleyau highlighted Impax as a healthy bargain: "Spectacular growth, effective management, huge market. Bumpy earnings keep the price down."

In fact, Impax currently sports a particularly paltry P/E of 6.3. That represents a clear discount to listed competitors Mylan (32.4), Teva (13.1), and Watson (37.2).

CAPS member MoabRocks elaborates on the bull case:

This is an interesting niche in the generic pharmaceutical market. The creation of sustained-release products is vital in many areas to create a valuable generic alternative to innovator products. This technology should create lasting partnerships for [Impax] and the potential for growth. As more products requiring sustain-release formulations lose patent protection if positioned properly this company could continue to be very interesting.
