Deutsche Bank Starts Biogen-IDEC (BIIB) at Hold

June 18, 2008 5:06 PM EDT

Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Biogen-IDEC (Nasdaq: BIIB) with a Hold rating and $60 price target. The firm said they see M&A strategic value (including synergies) in the high $70s, but view a near term take-out as relatively unlikely.

The firm said the stock could see near-term pressure after the June 19th annual meeting if activist investor Carl Icahn is not successul in getting directors on the board, as any embedded M&A premium begins to fade.
