Leerink Swann maintains an 'Outperform' on InterMune Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) price target lowered from $37 to $27.

Analyst, Jonathan Eckard, said, "We are lowering our 12-month valuation on ITMN shares to $27, reflecting the delays in expected Esbriet launch in several EU countries and in the US, as well as more modest assumptions on German ramp-up. We reach our $27 valuation using a DCF analysis that assumes sales of Esbriet in Europe and probability-weighted US sales (at 65%) with IP protection only from the respective 10- and 7-years of orphan drug exclusivity. This DCF uses an 11% discount rate that we believe is appropriate given the inclusion of probability-weighted sales."
