November 2, 2009 8:16 AM EST

Leerink Swann initiates coverage on Incyte Corp (Nasdaq: INCY) with an Outperform rating.

Leerink analyst says, "We believe the Street is under-appreciating the commercial potential for INCY's JAK-inhibitor franchise, particularly topical INCB18424, which we see as INCY's lowest-risk development program with a sizable potential market opportunity in both psoriasis and other topical inflammatory indications. Significant upside should also be driven by INCB18424 in myeloproliferative disorders and INCB28050 in inflammatory disorders. We view INCY shares as fairly valued on a risk-adjusted, fully diluted basis in the $15-17/share range."
