The firm comments, "AMLN announced 4Q11 and issued 2012 guidance on its call. We calculate that AMLN’s 2012 operating income guidance suggests a range of $525-610m in combined Byetta/Bydureon U.S. sales in 2012, higher than our previous estimates. We continue to believe that the Street has underestimated the potential of the Byetta/Bydureon franchise."
