Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on Endo Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ENDP).

Needham analyst says, "ENDP’s 3Q11 delivered strong top- and bottom-line results that easily outpaced Street expectations. The pharma businesses (branded and generics) drove top-line strength, while the devices/services segment (Healthronics and AMS) had more muted growth due to prior safety issues and lower procedural volumes. The bottom-line was further aided by lower OpEx and non-operational metrics (tax rate and share count). Despite solid beat, ENDP reaffirmed its prior 2011 guidance, and gave itself flexibility in case of a slower than expected recovery of the devices/services segment. We remain at HOLD as EPS accretion related to recent acquisitions is now fully priced-in and investor focus shifts to synergy generation and revenue growth acceleration."
