Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX).

Needham analyst says, "WCRX initial 2012 guidance underwhelmed yet shares have held steady, either because investors expect very little or are content to wait for the next acquisition or, perhaps management’s stepped up effort to highlight the “core product” growth story is gaining some traction. While the resiliency of shares in the face of a light 2012 outlook clearly speaks volumes about the limited downside risk from further numbers slippage (very little), we still see limited supportive evidence to help crystallize an outperformance case other than the “low expectations/cheap valuation” argument that has existed for years." (Needham lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $3.94 to $3.69)
