Citi analyst Liav Abraham calls Synergy Pharmaceuticals (SGYP) the most likely potential target for Takeda Pharmaceutical (TKPYY) among her coverage universe. The Financial Times earlier today reported that Takeda is ready to spend as much as $15B in acquisitions to expand its business in the United States. Abraham has a Neutral rating on Synergy with a $4 price target. The analyst sees Synergy as a potential target given the "extensive resources" needed to commercialize its lead asset, plecanatide, as well as Takdea's presence in the irritable bowel syndrome/chronic idiopathic constipation space. Shares of Synergy are up 6% to $5.18 in early trading.
