Oppenheimer analyst Jay Olson raised his price target for Amgen (AMGN) to $230 from $210 after the U.S. District Court determined that Sandoz has not met the burden to prove all seven asserted claims invalid and upheld several Enbrel patents. The analyst suspects Sandoz will appeal but views the outcome as highly favorable for Amgen and models flat Enbrel sales until 2021 before declining. Sandoz is a division of Novartis (NVS). Olson reiterates an Outperform rating on Amgen's shares.
