Leerink Swann upgraded Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) from Market Perform to Outperform, price target range raised from $27-30 to $30-31.

Analyst, Dan Leonard, said, "Following recent due diligence, which included several calls with MEDACorp clinicians and reimbursement specialists, as well as literature review, we are upgrading MYGN’s stock to Outperform. Key to our investment thesis is a view that: 1) the overhangs related to MYGN’s reimbursement and IP risks are overdone, and 2) MYGN’s core BRACAnalysis and COLARIS product lines should continue to grow."
