JERUSALEM, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries reported a slightly larger than expected rise in fourth-quarter profit, helped by double-digit sales gains in a trio of its branded drugs to treat migraines, Huntington's disease and schizophrenia.
The world's largest generic drugmaker said on Wednesday it earned 71 cents per diluted share excluding one-time items in the October-December quarter, down from $1.00 per share a year earlier. Revenue fell 5% to $4.2 billion.
Analysts had forecast earnings of 70 cents per share ex-items for the Israel-based company on revenue of $4.13 billion, LSEG I/B/E/S data showed.
