Leerink Swann initiates coverage on Santarus (NASDAQ: SNTS) with a Outperform with a valuation range of $15-$16.

The firm comments, "We are initiating coverage of SNTS with an Outperform rating for several reasons including: (1) positive KOL feedback on the recently approved Uceris for ulcerative colitis (UC) -- we forecast $235m in '18E sales; (2) near-term catalysts -- a post-market Uceris study and potential Cycloset (HAE) patent issuance -- provide upside to our valuation; and (3) Zegerid for heartburn - mkt recapture and modest damages provide significant cash flow for biz development. We value SNTS at $15-16/shr based on DCF, and bull case catalysts could drive valuation to $18-19/shr."
