Barclays initiates coverage on Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: JAZZ) with an Overweight. PT $60.00.

Analyst, Douglas D. Tsao, feels that despite some possible pressure down the road from generic companies, Jazz Pharma offers one of the best options for Specialty Pharma. Tsao cites the current share price, which he feels under-appreciates the cohesiveness of the Xyrem franchise.

Bears think a generic may be available as soon as 2015, but Tsao thinks it will be pushed back closer to 2018. FY12 EPS estimate moved to $4.70 and FY13 to $5.58.
