Andrew Tsai has assigned a Hold rating for Avadel Pharmaceuticals due to the upcoming acquisition by Alkermes, valued at up to $2.1 billion, expected to close in Q1 2026. This rating reflects the growth potential of Avadel's drug Lumryz, despite complexities from a legal settlement with Jazz Pharmaceuticals affecting sales until 2028. The anticipated development of a new salt-free version of Lumryz by 2028 also impacts the outlook. Tsai is a 5-star analyst with a 16.2% average return and a 57.64% success rate in the Healthcare sector.
