Gabelli & Co. initiates coverage on CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc (Nasdaq: CPEX) with a Buy. Price target $17.

Gabelli analyst says, "The market appears to be valuing CPEX Pharmaceuticals based on the company's nasal insulin product, Nasulin; we feel that this does not adequately reflect the value of the company's Testim royalty stream - we expect that the Paragraph IV generic drug filing against Testim and the increased R&D expenses to support Nasulin will continue to be a drag on the stock, however several catalysts could emerge over the next 12-18 months: settlement with Upsher-Smith, early termination/partnering of Nauslin, success of MannKind's Technosphere Insulin, new partnership opportunities, and the possibility of acquisition."

CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company.
