The choppy/consolidating (or perhaps worse) market conditions sometimes give the impression that growth plays do not exist, but that is not the case, and one growth company worth reviewing is Allergan.
Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) is a leading producer of ophthalmic, neuromuscular and skin care pharmaceuticals, and, via its March 2006 acquisition of Inamed Corp., aesthetic products.
Analysts see 10-13% revenue growth in 2008, but with U.S. sales growth dampened by the slow-growth U.S. economy. International markets accounted for about 34% of sales.
Concerning Botox, so far there has been no slowdown for therapeutic of cosmetic use, but the latter may record slower growth if U.S. discretionary purchases decline, in the quarters ahead.
