Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Amarin Corporation (NASDAQ: AMRN) price target of $28.00.

Analyst, Thomas Wei, said, "We believe investor speculation over further delays in Vascepa’s New Chemical Entity (NCE) decision, plus a minor concern for a new meta-analysis, has contributed to stock weakness. We believe the stock reaction creates an attractive entry point, as we do not believe NCE status is essential for a pharma deal given the patent prospects or that the analysis of 1-2 gram Lovaza studies predicts the outcome of Vascepa’s REDUCE-IT trial."
