Embecta reset its U.S. outlook after a tough quarter driven by share loss at a major retailer, softer insulin pen prescription trends, and inventory adjustments. CEO Devdatt Kurdikar said the company does not see a major change in competition, but price pressure was the biggest factor in the retailer loss.
