As previously reported, JMP Securities analyst Reni Benjamin assumed coverage of Incyte (INCY) with an upgraded rating of Outperform and a $107 price target. The analyst cites the "solid fundamentals" of the company's multi-billion dollar Jakafi franchise, including its recent approval in steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease, which he believes remains under-appreciated by investors. Benjamin is also positive on Incyte's "marquee" partners that include Novartis (NVS) and Eli Lilly (LLY), along with its $1.7B cash position, diverse pipeline, and strong fundamentals.
