Here is what Baron Health Care Fund said:
“Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on neurology and endocrinology. Its lead product, Ingrezza, is used for Tardive dyskinsia, a movement disorder that is a side effect of antipsychotic medication. Shares declined in the quarter mostly due to inventory stocking in the second quarter that management warned would potentially cause a momentary slowdown in sequential growth. We remain unconcerned about these types of business dynamics and are focused on Ingrezza continuing its strong launch and on its pipeline delivering over time.”
