Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Perrigo Co. (NASDAQ: PRGO) price target of $105.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "PRGO put up a solid fiscal Q2 result off the back of another strong Generic Rx quarter and against a well-advertised weak cough-and-cold season. We exit the quarter more comfortable with the near-term outlook and what will likely be viewed as less risk to numbers from here. We did hear some concern today around (1) valuation in the context of greater Rx contribution (lower comp value) and (2) confidence in Consumer Health outlook given what is perhaps some unexpected competitive benefit. While fair, though not new, Perrigo is also benefiting from its diversified footprint with a better F2H launch outlook ahead. Bottom line, we think upside in Consumer Health is key to the stock from here, which is where our focus lies; remain HOLD for now."
