Shares of AptarGroup rose after the company reported fourth-quarter results and announced a $600 million buyback authorization.
The stock was recently up 7.3%, to $133.02, but has fallen about 7% over the past 52 weeks.
AptarGroup, which provides dosing, dispensing and protection technologies for drugs and consumer products, said sales rose 14%, to $962.7 million. The prescription division benefited from strong demand for systemic nasal drug delivery used for central nervous system therapies and pain management, while the injectables division was helped by growth in GLP-1 elastomeric components.
Adjusted earnings per share fell to $1.25 from $1.62. In October, the company said, in the short term, it expected to face tough comparisons from a one-time naloxone ramp-up and said it expected fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.20 to $1.28 a share. AptarGroup said Thursday that it expects $1.13 to $1.21 for the first quarter.
