Analyst Matt Harrison comments "4Q16 beat, but 2017 rev guide was 15% below cons and 9% below our Street low ests. HCV (-30% vs cons; -45% Y/Y) drove the miss with slowing volumes the key culprit. P/E now ~9x off mid-point of our $6.64-$8.47 implied EPS range (~30% below cons). Mgt. again pointed to external assets for growth"
