Pacira Pharmaceuticals (PCRX) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Pacira Pharmaceuticals (PCRX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Pacira BioSciences has demonstrated a notable performance with a 9% year-over-year volume growth for its flagship product, Exparel, in the third quarter, reflecting the highest growth rate in over three years. Although revenues of $140 million for Exparel were slightly below expectations, the company's commercial investments in key states are expected to continue driving volume growth and boost adoption in outpatient surgical settings. Additionally, the ongoing development of a diverse pipeline of non-opioid analgesics, alongside the durable improvements in patient outcomes, positions Pacira favorably for future revenue diversification and enhanced market share.
Bears say
Pacira BioSciences faces significant risks that negatively impact its financial outlook, notably through potential generic competition for its primary product, Exparel, which has been on the market for 14 years and is experiencing stagnation in growth initiatives. The company has also trimmed its revenue and EBITDA forecasts for 2025, indicating a lack of confidence in meeting previously anticipated financial targets and a diminished trajectory for its established products. Additionally, the underperformance in revenue growth from Zilretta and uncertainty surrounding the success of its new product, PCRX-201, compound concerns about the company's ability to diversify away from reliance on Exparel while maintaining overall market share.
