Amphastar Pharmaceuticals' stock experienced a significant 24-hour plunge of 6.87% during post-market trading on Thursday.
The sharp decline followed the company's release of fourth-quarter financial results that fell short of analyst expectations. Amphastar reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.73, missing the consensus estimate of $0.92 by 20.82%. Revenue also disappointed at $183.105 million, coming in 3.87% below the $190.480 million estimate.
The results represented a year-over-year decline in both metrics, with earnings decreasing 20.65% and revenue dropping 1.83% compared to the same period last year. The across-the-board misses in key financial indicators prompted the sell-off as investors reacted to the weaker-than-expected performance.
