This company lost its identity as it evolved. Was it primarily a drug company or a marketer of generics? Its price dropped substantially after its main drug came off patent.

This company did very well when value stocks were in favor, and has traded down. It is modestly priced compared to its historical levels, not cheap.

An Israeli company that trades in the US. The largest generic pharmaceutical company in the world. They went through a difficult management period after its founder passed away. The important part of the generics is not really the molecule part (if you have smart people you can copy the molecules). The important part is the legal aspect.
