Removes extraneous word "maker" in first bullet
J.P. Morgan raises PT on drugmaker Pacira Biosciences PCRX.O to $21 from $11
New PT represents a 20.6% downside to the stocks's last close
Says it maintains its "underweight" rating, increasing its PT "primarily reflecting later generic entry"
Brokerage says co's current share price of ~$26 implies that the market is assuming generic entry for co's pain management drug, Exparel in 2035+, which it considers a "highly optimistic scenario" for PCRX and underestimates "competitive risk"
Says "assume a more balanced outcome with market entry late this decade"
Co's lead drug Exparel is a pain-management drug used after surgery
Stock has fallen 11.4% in the last 12 months
