Mylan Stock Rating Lowered by Canaccord Genuity (MYL)
Canaccord Genuity downgraded shares of Mylan (NYSE: MYL) from a buy rating to a hold rating in a report issued on Monday. They currently have $33.00 target price on the stock.
“The stock has responded well to recent events though we now see fewer catalysts ahead. The bull case still rests upon outsized earnings growth over the next several years boosted by the recent Agila deal which we like. Looking ahead, we view 2013 as a transition year with slower core growth and fewer catalysts. That combined with what is likely an increased focus on EPIPEN risk in 2015 could temper enthusiasm over the earnings story and set the stock up for a pause.,” the firm’s analyst commented.
