Pearson's appetite for deals and his stomach for cost-cutting has endeared him to Canadian analysts, one of which hiked its price target to $74 from $70, partly because of expectations that Valeant will beat its 2013 forecast. Pearson is pretty popular with Valeant's board, too; Canada.com reports that his 2012 compensation package--$36 million, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, with few details on its figures--makes him the second-highest-paid CEO in Canada.
