Investment Thesis — Pacira BioSciences, Inc.
The market is overly focused on Pacira's recent margin compression and slow net income growth, missing the embedded operating leverage as the company shifts from a single-product story to a broader pain management platform. High short interest signals consensus expects further downside, but forward earnings power is understated if even modest revenue growth resumes.
