WPI has a portfolio of drugs of which more than 80% are generic...with health care reform (i.e. cost cutting) looming, they are well positioned to reap the benefits. The company just launched a generic alternative to Ferrlecit (an iron therapy replacement for dialysis patients) which will spoil profits for companies selling high priced brand names (see my AMAG pick). With Paul Bisaro (former CEO of Barr Pharmaceuticals) at the helm, this company is a good bet to outperform its peers.
