276. Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: WPI) is down from $70 where it topped in 2011. At the present price of around $62, I think that there is a little upside here. Target: $63-$68. My 2012 EPS estimate is $5.60 which puts this at a P/E of 11.1 for a company growing at a double digit clip. Definately looks inexpensive here. Glad to see Bret agrees. I'll be playing CAPS points on this one.

Generic drugs are where the cash is. Watson (I'm told) is well positioned to take advantage of some of the big blockbuster drugs that will be going to generic in the coming months. 2011 and 2012 estimates indicate that Watson is still growing at a much faster pace than their competitors. Even if earnings and guidance are lower than expected, Watson will still show growth in both Revenue and Earnings.
