Weakness Seen in Avanir Pharmaceuticals (AVNR): Stock Falls 6.5% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AVNR) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by nearly 7% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, trading at a volatile range of $5.81–$12.49 in the past one-month time frame, showed a sharp decline yesterday at $11.68.

This biopharmaceutical company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks and the consensus for loss hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch of this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.

AVNR currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Some better-ranked stocks in the Med-Drugs industry include Endo International plc (ENDP), Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc. (HPTX) and Lannett Company, Inc. (LCI). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
