As previously reported, Jefferies analyst Ian Hilliker downgraded AstraZeneca (AZN) to Hold from Buy citing valuation following the stock's outperformance since he upgraded it in March. Hilliker has raised his price target on AstraZeneca to 6,200p, but notes that this only leaves about 8% of further upside. Following results for the Q2 period, Hilliker said Novartis (NVS) remains his top European Pharmaceuticals pick, followed by Roche (RHHBY) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in third place.
