Ackman says Valeant stock 'extraordinary bargain'

(Reuters) - Activist investor Bill Ackman said Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc's (VRX.N) (VRX.TO) stock was an "extraordinary bargain" given its low price.

More doctors could use speciality pharmacies, potentially benefiting Valeant, and the selloff in the stock was unwarranted, Ackman said on Pershing Square's quarterly call on Monday.

He also said he had constructive meeting with the management of Mondelez International Inc (MDLZ.O), in which he took a stake in August.
