Piper Jaffray said the "positive" trial data Teva (TEVA) reported for its anti-CGRP antibody in migraines is another important validation for the class of drugs that is also being worked on by Amgen (AMGN), Eli Lilly (LLY) and Alder Biopharmaceuticals (ALDR). The firm said it thinks Amgen is one of the leaders in CGRP antibody space and reiterated its Overweight rating and $187 price target on Amgen shares.

JPMorgan estimates Amgen (AMGN) without its obesity pipeline is worth $240-$250 per share and that the market is assigning $30-$40 per share of value to Maritide. While the competitive bar for Maritide is high and moving higher based on Novo Nordisk's (NVO) recent pipeline updates, the obesity market is also "unprecedented in terms of size," the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm estimates peak sales for Maritide of $6B, equating to mid-single-digit share within the incretin space. JPMorgan believes this supports a value roughly in-line with what is reflected in Amgen's current share price. It sees a positive risk/reward scenario given the recent pullback but maintains a Neutral rating on the name with a $290 price target. The firm says Amgen is viewed as the best positioned name beyond Eli Lilly (LLY) and Novo to have a role in the obesity space.
