Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Perrigo is now more tapped in to the higher-margin branded consumer health market, and this should act as tailwind to the top and bottom lines in future.

Bears

By expanding its business to focus more on branded products, Perrigo now faces stiffer competition from larger consumer healthcare product manufacturers.

Company Profile

Perrigo is one of the largest consumer health companies in the world. Since 2018, Perrigo divested its animal health and generic pharmaceuticals businesses to solely focus on consumer self-care. In North America (two thirds of total sales), the firm’s product mix is anchored in private-label consumer health goods, which are sold to major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and CVS. Perrigo also plays in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia where it primarily generates revenue through its national brands, including Compeed, Solpadeine, Coldrex, and ellaOne.
