Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 9% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
Amphastar got U.S. approval to sell a copy of an iron treatment and plans to start selling in Q3 2025, which has lifted investor mood. Recent price behavior looks healthy and buying interest seems stronger than usual, and the company is adding factory capacity, which makes future sales easier to see. Because analysts expect sales to be flat and trading is thin, keep positions modest and buy small dips over the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- U.S. approval to sell a generic iron treatment, targeting a Q3 2025 launch.
- Recent price action looks healthy and buying interest is stronger than usual.
- Expanding manufacturing capacity to support more product and steadier supply.
- Trading volume is light, so position sizes should be smaller to manage fills.
