The FDA approval of its in-house teriparatide pen directly supports this thesis, but the key near term catalyst remains whether new and existing products can offset slowing revenue growth, while the biggest risk is that high debt and weaker recent profitability limit Amphastar\u2019s flexibility if execution slips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Among recent announcements, the ongoing share repurchase program stands out alongside the teriparatide news, with Amphastar buying back over 14.1 million shares for about US$369.1 million since 2016. For investors weighing the new product catalyst against softer 2025 earnings and a share price that has fallen 27.6% year to date, this combination of in-house launches and capital returns frames how management is responding to a tougher backdrop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Yet even with new products and buybacks, investors should be aware that Amphastar\u2019s high debt load could&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/community\/narratives\/us\/pharmaceuticals-biotech\/nasdaq-amph\/amphastar-pharmaceuticals\/jy2j9fxe-intensified-competition-will-erode-margins-for-generic-pharmaceuticals-rbwm?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4286208\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Read the full narrative on Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (it&#039;s free!);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Read the full narrative on Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (it&#8217;s free!)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Amphastar Pharmaceuticals&#8217; narrative projects $830.2 million revenue and $142.5 million earnings by 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/community\/narratives\/us\/pharmaceuticals-biotech\/nasdaq-amph\/amphastar-pharmaceuticals\/jy2j9fxe-intensified-competition-will-erode-margins-for-generic-pharmaceuticals-rbwm?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4286208\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Uncover how Amphastar Pharmaceuticals&#039; forecasts yield a $32.00 fair value;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Uncover how Amphastar Pharmaceuticals&#8217; forecasts yield a $32.00 fair value<\/a>, a 22% upside to its current price.<\/p>\n<p>          <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/company\/id\/db9dfccc-d345-490f-a40e-8801e0e2a1bd?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=infographic&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4286208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"AMPH 1-Year Stock Price Chart\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"664\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/><\/a> AMPH 1-Year Stock Price Chart       <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Three fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community range widely, from about US$32 to roughly US$97 per share, showing just how far apart individual views can be.
