Dublin, Ireland-based Horizon Pharma plc is a biopharmaceutical focused on identifying, developing, acquiring and commercializing products that address unmet therapeutic needs in arthritis, pain, inflammatory and orphan diseases. The company operates through three business units – Orphan, Primary Care and Rheumatology. Its portfolio currently comprises nine marketed products. Key products include Actimmune (chronic granulomatous disease and severe malignant osteopetrosis) and Duexis (signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) among others.
The company has been actively pursuing acquisitions to expand and diversify its portfolio. In this scenario, investor focus remains on the company’s performance apart from the usual top-and bottom-line numbers.
Horizon’s performance has been far from encouraging with the company missing earnings estimates thrice and surpassing the same in one out of the four trailing quarters. Overall, the company has an average negative earnings surprise of 1.85%.
