Leerink Swann downgraded Par Pharmaceutical (NYSE: PRX) from Outperform to Market Perform. Price target raised to $50.

Analyst, Jason M. Gerberry, said, "We believe investors should take profits following the announcement that PRX will be purchased by TPG, a private equity firm for $50/shr. PRX has to Aug. 24, 2012 to solicit superior proposals."

Gerberry notes that PRX would be a good fit for Mylan (NYSE: MYL), but he doesn't feel they (or any others) will bid more than $50/share.
