Shares of Eagle Pharmaceuticals saw a boost on Monday following the company’s announcement that it has raised its full-year adjusted earnings guidance. The stock rose 12% to $20.80 in morning trading, though it has still experienced a 29% decline so far this year.
The Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company is now anticipating adjusted earnings per share of $4.40 to $4.70, an increase from their previous guidance of $4.20 to $4.53.
