Daniel Och’s New #1 Holding

Daniel Och

Daniel Och’s Oz Management has a new top holding Actavis Pharmaceutical (ACT) moved from the 4th spot last quarter to the number one position with Och’s increase in the number of shares held by 21%. Now Och has 31.8 million shares of Actavis worth $709 million.

This large increase in the Actavis stake comes at a propitious time; a month ago, ACT  announced it was acquiring Forest Laboratories (FRX) for $28 billion. It is estimated that Forest could add another 40%-50% to Actavis’ $10 billion revenue, and could earn ACT $1 billion in cost synergies. While Actavis is a leading player in generics, FRX will increase its exposure to specialty pharmaceuticals, which command higher prices.
