Valeant CEO aiming to reassure investors with release of delayed Q4 results
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – Valeant Pharmaceuticals will try reassure investors this morning as the embattled drug and health-care products maker finally releases its long-delayed quarterly results.
After a two-month medical leave, CEO Michael Pearson has vowed to update shareholders on the company’s “progress” and outlook for the coming year by releasing preliminary fourth-quarter results.
Valeant delayed its results after Pearson was hospitalized for severe pneumonia and again when he returned to work two weeks ago.
The Quebec-based company has struggled since a critical report disclosed connections with a U.S. mail order pharmacy amid political accusations of price gouging that further punished its reputation.
Once one of Canada’s largest companies, Valeant has seen its stock price crater to about $91 from a week high of $348, with its market capitalization more than halved since October alone.
Valeant’s (TSX:VRX) net profit is expected to fall 15 per cent to US$462…
