Leerink analyst Seamus Fernandez said he sees significant optionality for AstraZeneca (AZN) beyond the "mega-catalyst" of the MYSTIC trial in non-small cell lung cancer, as he believes several 2017 and 2018 readouts from underappreciated pipeline assets could lead to upside for the shares. If MYSTIC fails, Astra's "massive" SG&A spend gives it flexibility to mute the bottom-line impact. If it is successful, he believes potential acquirers such as Pfizer (PFE) or Novartis (NVS) could see "an attractive target to plunder," Fernandez tells investors. He keeps an Outperform rating and $36 price target on AstraZeneca ADRs.
