Pharmaceutical maker Forest Laboratories (FRX) had double digit returns on news of its acquisition by Actavis PLC, the world’s second largest generic drug maker. Prior to this transaction, Forest Labs conducted a company restructuring, increased its product pipeline and initiated a stock buyback, all of which helped boost the stock valuation at the time of Actavis’ $25 billion acquisition bid.
