Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

VRX position long Wally Weitz

Thesis

Valeant is interesting because they are looking to acquire Allergan, which has been a natural target for them. Even if the acquisition doesn't go through, Valeant is likely to buy something else, and they have a strategy of cutting bloated cost structures to increase earnings.

Did it work?

inconclusive confidence: low

Without specific price performance data or a defined time horizon for the thesis, it's difficult to assess whether the investment thesis has played out. The potential acquisition of Allergan and the strategy of cost-cutting are relevant factors, but without knowing how Valeant's stock has reacted or if these strategies have been implemented, the outcome remains uncertain.
