Analysts’ revenue estimates

Allergan’s revenue is mainly driven by the strong performance of Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella in medical aesthetics, Ozurdex and Restasis in eye care, Linzess and Lo Loestrin in general medicine, and new products Viberzi and Vraylar.

Wall Street analysts expect revenue of $4.0 billion in 2Q17, a ~7% growth from 2Q16, and earnings per share of $3.93.
