Recommendation: Sell
o Though valuation looks mildly compelling, margin of safety is not sufficient
Would require a FCF yield above 12% to be interested.
Worried about standalone revenue trends when you back out acquisitions.
o Market has become scared by Epipen troubles and overall strength of the generics
business
I agree that the generics business has rapidly deteroriated for the entire sector as
approvals are being fast-tracked, pricing is eroding, and barriers to entry are
falling by the wayside. Given that much of the profitability comes from first-to-
market profits, this is scary.
While it is compelling to say that the stock has fallen too much, if generic prices
continue to deflate, Mylan and the rest of the industry will still be harmed.
o Returns on capital are not strong enough
Company has investing much more capital in the business in the last few years,
mostly from acquisitions.
They have done so to plug revenue holes.
Appears the quality of the business has decreased.
