PDL BioPharma - Big in Japan

PDL reported Q218 revenues of $46.6m, with Noden product revenue of $25.9m (up 45.1% compared to Q118). Almost all of that growth came from increased sales in Asia thanks to the launch in Japan by distribution partner Orphan Pacific. Noden product revenue in the US was down slightly (1%) in the quarter compared to Q118, and the future of Tekturna in the US is now in question following a settlement agreement with Anchen Pharmaceuticals, which would allow it to enter with a generic in the US after March 1, 2019. Subsequently, the company reported a $152.3m impairment of its Noden intangible asset with the estimated fair value now at $40.1m.

However, the market behaviour deterioration triggered a risk requalification, which can be thus described as moderately risky. theScreener believes that increased risk justifies the general evaluation downgrade to Neutral.

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
