Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Teva Pharma (NASDAQ: TEVA), PT $70.

Barclays analyst says, "With currently-marketed MS drug Copaxone and late development stage drug oral laquinimod key focus items for investors, Jon provided important insights on Teva's MS franchise, as well as strategy and outlook - not only at our lunch meeting, but also as part of Teva's presentation at the conference, which was entirely focused on Teva Neuroscience's products and activities. Among the key items of investor interest: (1) upcoming laquinimod first-time detailed Phase 3 trial results (ALEGRO) at AAN meeting (Apirl 9-16), with the presentation scheduled for April 15 at 6:00pm ET (date/time having been released by the AAN earlier this week); (2) second Phase 3 results in early 3Q (BRAVO); and (3) how laquinimod will be positioned with Copaxone in the market, assuming the former gains regulatory approval within the next 18 months."

"For share price performance, we view key drivers as quarterly financial results and resolution of manufacturing compliance issues, followed by improving earnings visibility as 2012 approaches."
