Collins Stewart downgraded Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ: HGSI) to Neutral, price target cut from $17 to $10.

Collins analyst says, "We are presenting the results of our 4Q11 Benlysta tracking survey (N=30), which suggests that 83% of physicians expect to treat an average of 4.6 patients by mid-2012 and 87% expect to treat an average of 11 by YE12 (vs. 53% treating 5.1 in Dec). Extrapolating this to the 2.3K target physicians suggests FY12 Benlysta sales of ~$197.1M (likely an overestimation, as 87% of physicians in our survey are academic-based and potentially early adopters) vs. consensus of $216.1M and CSe of $213.5M."
