Halozyme: Is Robust Growth Masking A Long-Term Value Trap? (Rating Downgrade)

MDASE, once seen as the next growth engine, now appears more like a speculative 'call option' due to patent litigation setbacks and a lack of partnerships. Despite robust revenue and profitability, management's focus on share buybacks over R&D and unclear post-ENHANZE strategy is worrying.
