Leerink Swann maintains an 'Outperform' on InterMune Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) price target of $54.00.

Leerink analyst says, "We hosted an investor call yesterday with a MEDACorp German reimbursement specialist to discuss the impact of the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) assessment on Esbriet. We believe the downside scenario of the German AMNOG review (price review after first launch anniversary) would be taking the average EU5 pricing, or pan-European pricing. Considering the sell-off in the shares yesterday and the significant concern over the last several months about European pricing and the launch that has taken the shares to the level prior to European approval, we believe this scenario is relatively benign and the valuation is attractive at current levels."
