Leerink Swann maintains an 'Outperform' on Omnicare (NYSE: OCR) price target range $37-$40.
Leerink analyst says, "We highly doubt that CMS's recent proposal to require consultant pharmacists be independent of prescribing long-term care (LTC) pharmacy represents a major risk to OCR's business model. And to the degree that it potentially does represent a risk, we have little confidence in CMS's estimate of the expected cost savings, which appears to have been hastily constructed. With a double-digit EPS growth outlook, the potential catalyst of acquiring PMC, and a nearly 15% free cash flow yield, we view OCR as the most attractive stock in our coverage list."
