Bausch & Lomb announced Thomas Appio, the chairman of the board of directors, will serve as an interim chief executive and replace the sitting leader, Brent Saunders, effective immediately. The reason for Saunders' departure was not disclosed. Shares traded down 10% intraday Oct. 12.
Bausch has a strong commercial position in both contact lens and consumer eye care products, and this should drive solid growth over the long term.
Bausch faces stiff competition across all segments that it plays in, and the lack of investment in its pipeline could leave the firm vulnerable to market share losses.
