Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) price target of $55.00 (from $53.00).

Analyst, Thomas Wei, said, "The FDA approved GILD's Stribild (quad pill) with a label that was largely in line with expectations. GILD announced Stribild pricing of $28,500/year, which represents a premium to our assumption of $22,263. We are raising our PT to $55 on the basis of Stribild pricing, but we remain cautious on GILD based on valuation."

FY12 EPS estimate raised from $3.78 to $3.79 and FY13 from $4.05 to $4.12.
