Earnings preview: Teva’s struggles might not end in Q2
Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: TEVA) is scheduled to report second quarter 2019 earnings results on Wednesday, August 7, before market open. Analysts expect to report earnings of $0.57 per share on revenue of $4.25 billion.
Teva has been struggling with tough competition and pricing challenges in the generics market and this is expected to continue in the second quarter. Revenue declines in Copaxone as well as other key brands is also expected to hurt the top line numbers. Teva is also likely to see pressure in Europe due to discontinued business operations.

However, the company is expected to benefit from the sales of new products which are likely to partially offset the weakness in other areas.
