Deutsche Bank Upgrades MAP Pharmaceuticals (MAPP) to Buy

May 27, 2009 7:43 AM EDT

Deutsche Bank upgrades MAP Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: MAPP) to Buy. Price target increased from $5 to $12.

Deutsche analyst says, "Despite the significant share appreciation following the announcement of the Levadex Phase 3 results, MAP's modest $185M equity valuation still appears attractive, given our view that Levadex could potentially generate US sales in excess of $250M at peak, if approved. Moreover, as we had previously removed UDB from our model (following disappointing Ph 3 data), there is potential for upside if AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) remains committed to its partnership with MAP for UDB. Given this outlook, we are upgrading MAP shares to Buy from Hold."
