Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Analyst Notes
On April 8, 2014, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva) announced that its generic equivalent to Lovaza (Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters Capsules, USP) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. Teva, the only company so far to receive a FDA approval for generic Lovaza, plans to start the shipping of the drug immediately. Lovaza Capsules, marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, had annual sales of approximately $1.1 billion in the U.S., according to IMS data as of December 2013. The development, however, failed to lift the stock which ended lower for the third consecutive day on the announcement. Teva's stock came under pressure as the Company battles to delay the possible market entry of generic versions of its top-selling multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone, which accounts for more than half of the Company's profits.

Covidien Plc Analyst Notes
On April 9, 2014, Covidien Plc's (Covidien) stock moved up 2.29% to end the day at $71.80.

U.S. markets also rallied as Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes eased concerns over timing of future interest-rate increases, and as Q1 2014 earnings season kicked-off on a strong note. Covidien's stock opened the session at $70.56 and fluctuated between $70.05 and $71.81.
