Citadel Securities initiates coverage on shares of Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG) with a Neutral rating and $58 price target.

The firm believes that shares are currently fairly valued given a potential deceleration in Revlimid revenues; a potential treatment duration limit for Revlimid in newly diagnosed MM and maintenance therapy of between 12 and 24 months in Europe; its expectation that the FDA will not approve Abraxane in NSCLC based on the drug’s failure to demonstrate a statistically significant benefit in progression-free survival versus solvent-based paclitaxel; and the upcoming U.S. launch of generic Vidaza, which the firm believes may not be meaningfully offset by ex-U.S. revenues.

Citadel is issuing its 2011 and 2012 EPS estimates at $3.35 and $4.08 and its revenue estimates at $4,554 million and $4,768 million.
