Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX) price target of $18.00.

Analyst, Douglas D. Tsao, said, "We are adjusting our EPS estimates for WCRX ahead of the company's 4Q EPS report on Friday: While WCRX's valuation remains attractive on an EPS basis at just 4.5x our FY12E adjusted EPS of $3.64 (from $3.89), we remain on the sidelines, as we are not sure this is the appropriate valuation framework since WCRX's EV/EBITDA multiple is less attractive at 6x. WCRX must still address the sustainability of its franchise given the loss of exclusivity on key products, most notably Loestrin in 2014."
