Roth Capital raised its price target on Depomed (DEPO) to $30 from $27 after the company closed its Nucynta deal with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) about one month earlier than the firm expected. Noting that the company said that it would begin shipping Nucynta this week with a price adjustment made after the deal closing, the firm said it now expects a price increase of about 44%, which is up from its prior forecast for a 20% price hike. Roth maintains a Buy rating on Depomed shares.
