Leerink Swann initiates coverage on DUSA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: DUSA) with an Outperform. PT $8.00.
Leerink analyst says, "Positives include: 1) forecasted double-digit sales growth thru '15E as growth of PDT for AK treatment is still in early stages; 2) improved attractiveness to physicians as PDT reimbursement has increased +245% since '04; 3) management's re-focused efforts on the U.S. mkt; 4) potential label improvements driven by 2012 data catalysts designed to simplify and enhance uptake; and 5) scarcity value of small US specialty dermatology company."
"The main investment risks are:1) ability to achieve our revenue forecasts due to competition; 2) visibility on changes to reimbursement ; 3) risk of generic substitution post 2013 when the initial PDT platform patent expires."
