Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX) price target of $18.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, commented on the company's 42.9 million share offering...saying "We would expect focus on timing given the short period from the end of WCRX’s "strategic review" on Aug. 7 which ended in lack of a buyer or transaction – instead WCRX announced (1) a one-time $4.00 "special dividend," (2) a recurring $0.50 dividend (paid semi-annually) and (3) a $250 million buyback."

NOTE - shares are trading down over 9% this morning,
