Shares of Perrigo Co PLC (PRGO), a leading provider of consumer self-care products, soared 13.74% in pre-market trading on Friday.

• Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, the company anticipates a high-single to low-double digit percentage compound annual growth rate for adjusted EPS. Organic net sales growth is expected to remain in the 2.5% to 4.5% range over the 2025-2027 period.
• Other key targets include adjusted gross margin expansion of 200-400 basis points, adjusted operating margin expansion of 150-250 basis points, operating cash flow conversion of around 100% of adjusted net income, and targeted net leverage below 3x adjusted EBITDA by 2027.

Perrigo's upbeat outlook and plans to drive profitability through strategic initiatives appear to have resonated strongly with investors, fueling the double-digit pre-market rally in the company's stock price on Friday.
