Dublin, Ireland-based Endo International plc  is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on branded and generic pharmaceuticals products as well as over-the-counter medications through its operating companies. The company has several products including Lidoderm, Opana ER, Supprelin LA and Fortesta Gel in its Branded Pharmaceuticals portfolio.

Endo has implemented a growth-by-acquisition strategy. The company has acquired privately held Par Pharmaceutical, which boosted its generics portfolio and pipeline.

Endo has been consistently beating earnings expectations. In fact, Endo posted a positive surprise in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average positive surprise of 14.44%.
