Amphastar Pharmaceuticals: Shares Are Interesting, And Options Even More
Amphastar is undervalued (~71% upside), but lacks an economic moat and faces modest growth, so I favor a cautious gradual strategy. The business is defensive, with a diversified product mix and pipeline, but faces headwinds from competition, tariffs, and patent expirations. My base-case DCF-based fair value is $38.23; even in a pessimistic scenario, the stock seems at least fairly valued, limiting downside risk.

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals: Navigating Through An Inflection Year
Amphastar Pharmaceuticals posted Q1 results last week that beat the bottom-line consensus. The stock appears cheap at under eight times forward earnings, but the company is going through an 'inflection year' with flat revenue growth and declining profits. Growth should return in 2026 thanks to upcoming product launches.  Is the stock cheap enough to buy the recent dip in the shares?
