Leerink analyst Jason Gerberry says Teva (TEVA) suffered a largely expected loss in its Copaxone 40mg patent battle, with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB, ruling a third patent invalid. The analyst believes the company will likely appeal the loss, along with PTAB rulings rendered last week that other Copaxone patents were invalid. Gerberry sees the bull case scenario of Teva securing patent exclusivity of the Copaxone 40mg as unlikely and says a settlement with Momenta (MNTA) and Novartis (NVS) is the most logical course of action to mitigate 2017-2018E EPS risk. He reiterates an Outperform rating on Teva's shares.

TD Cowen analyst Yaron Werber raised the firm's price target on BeiGene (BGNE) to $236 from $235 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm updated its model to reflect lower collaborative revenue given termination of Novartis (NVS) agreement for tisle in Sep 2023.
