Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was founded in 2003 and is headq uartered in Palo Alto, California.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Louis Navellier]

  Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:JAZZ) is the No. 1 stock that I recommend you add to your holdings this month. In the last quarter, thanks to its successful narcolepsy treatment, Xyrem, the California-based drugmaker posted a 60% surge in sales and a 266% spike in profit! JAZZ experienced a minor sell-off in the month because some long-term investors thought that they should lock in gains on JAZZ’s fabulous run before volatility picked up. Of course, these investors completely jumped the gun; since its dip on Aug. 8, the stock has rebounded 31%! This proves that JAZZ is an incredibly robust stock that can withstand just about anything. Here’s more food for thought: For the past quarter, JAZZ’s biotech peers have been contracting, with the average quarterly performance being an 19% loss for the entire industry. In the meantime, JAZZ has been plugging along, with its price appreciating a hefty 45% in the past quarter!

  Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) is near a new high.

  The stock tried to break out July 5 in suspect volume, but made a more decisive breakout July 14, jumping past a 36.57 buy point. Since then, Jazz has pulled back to the 10-week line and found support at least a couple of times.

  The company broke a long streak of annual losses with a profit of $1.55 a share last year. Earnings surged 583%, 91%, 228% and 193% the past four quarters.

• [By Brian Nichols]

  To suggest that a $2 billion company that is priced at $50 a share will double over the next year may sound somewhat insane, but to me it sounds like a guarantee if we're talking about Jazz Pharmaceuticals. JAZZ is one of the fastest growing biotech companies in the market with earnings growth of 150% year over year. The company's led by its two FDA approved drugs: Xyrem and Luvox. Xyrem treats Narcolepsy and is the company's catalyst for growth; it posted a 68% year-over-year growth during its last quarter with $62.5 million. And Luvox, which treats OCD, returned $9.6 million during its last quarter, a 46% gain compared with the year prior.

  The strong growth of JAZZ has never been denied, with it returning 5,000% over the last 3 years, but some investors wonder what catalysts can drive the company to a higher level. The last three years have been great but I believe that 2012 will be a breakout year for the company. The company's two drugs are expected to continue with fast-growing sales, but more importantly, the growth will now come from other sources, such as its takeover of Azur Pharma. The takeover of Azur Pharma is expected to return an additional $100 million of revenue, strengthen the company's already diversified pipeline, and gives JAZZ an international platform to expand its sales. I think that with a larger platform and a pipeline with several late-stage candidates optimism will continue to build; and that JAZZ will never come close to trading near its 12x future earnings. I expect JAZZ to trade at over 25x earnings throughout 2012, which would be a gain of more than 100%, and probably more since the company always exceeds analysts expectations.
