Jefferies boosted its estimates and price target on Buy-rated Amylin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLN) from $25 to $30 following Q4 results, with guidance that suggests upside to sales estimates.

The firm comments, "AMLN announced 4Q11 and issued 2012 guidance on its call. We calculate that AMLN’s 2012 operating income guidance suggests a range of $525-610m in combined Byetta/Bydureon U.S. sales in 2012, higher than our previous estimates. We continue to believe that the Street has underestimated the potential of the Byetta/Bydureon franchise."

The firm boosted FY12 EPS from ($1.91) to ($0.96), next year was cut from ($0.98) to ($1.21). For they current quarter (Q1) they see ($0.20).
