DUBLIN – Shares of Endo International PLC plunged in extended trading Thursday after the drugmaker slashed its full-year outlook because of increasing competition and regulatory delays.
Endo now expects full-year earnings of $4.50 to $4.80 per share, with revenue of $3.87 billion to $4.03 billion. Previously the company expected to earn $5.85 to $6.20 per share on revenue between $4.32 billion and $4.52 billion.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect earnings per share of $5.68 on revenue of $4.3 billion, on average.
Endo, which makes both branded and generic drugs as well as over-the-counter medications, said it will shut a facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, and reduce its workforce in Huntsville, Alabama, as part of the restructuring of its generics manufacturing business. The company did not provide more specifics but said the moves are expected to lead to savings of about $60 million in 2017.

Thanks to Dividend Growth Investor for posting my article: why I use dividend growth investing.

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — While fire crews continue to battle the massive blaze that has consumed at least 1,600 homes, businesses and public buildings in the northern Alberta city of Fort McMurray, the province’s premier is turning at least part of her focus to what comes next.
Premier Rachel Notley says plans are in the works for concrete support for the more than 80,000 evacuees forced out of the community, including financial aid and transitional housing.
At a supper hour news conference on Thursday, Notley said steps are being taken to ensure that people on an income assistance program for the disabled get their money. The provincial cabinet will also look at giving evacuees cash cards.
“I must stress that these are very early days and there is much more to do, and more help will be needed,” she said…
Rio Tinto announces long-delayed expansion of Mongolia mine
– canadianbusiness.com
BEIJING, China – Mining giant Rio Tinto on Friday announced the launch of the next stage of a multibillion-dollar gold and copper mine in Mongolia following delays and political tension over revenue sharing and the foreign role in resource industries.
The underground portion of the Oyu Tolgoi mine will go ahead after Rio Tinto, the Mongolian government and another partner agreed on a $5.3 billion investment plan, the Anglo-Australian miner announced. It said production should begin in 2020.
Oyu Tolgoi became a symbol of tense relations between Mongolia and foreign investors. Expansion plans were delayed by disagreements over how to share revenue in the impoverished but resource-rich country between China and Russia.
Critics of government agreements with mining companies complain too little of Mongolia’s mineral wealth benefits the general public.
An open pit mine at Oyu Tolgoi opened in 2013 with an investment of $6.4 billion and employs some 3,000 people.
The latest agreement “is a clear demonstration that the country is back to business,” said the Mongolian prime minister, Chimediin Saikhanbileg, in a statement issued by Rio Tinto…
