Citi maintains a 'Neutral' on Regeneron Pharma (NASDAQ: REGN) price target of $68.

Analyst, Yaron Werber, suggested that recent channel checks indicate doctors are really considering switching to REGN's Eylea from Roche's (OTC: RHHBY) Lucentis, citing: 1) cut in price; 2) lower dosing amounts, but better potency; and 3) signs Eylea is working more effectively on certain patients.

Shares of REGN are trading near session highs, up $4.38 (+4.52%) to $101.24 (new 52-wk high). However, the stock has moved up from the mid-$30 level to over $100 in the past 52-wks.
