Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Mylan (NASDAQ: MYL) price target of $26.00.

Analyst Douglas D. Tsao, says, "We believe recent investor concern regarding generic threats to MYL's EpiPen franchise is unwarranted given both the legal and, more importantly, regulatory issues. EpiPen has emerged as an important driver for MYL based recent reacceleration for the franchise through conversion to "2-Pak" and, more importantly, increased awareness through DTC advertising. We expect EpiPen to reach $530M in sales in 2012, up 33% from '11."

Tsao concluded by saying, "...With just 7% market penetration of epinephrine injectors, we believe EpiPen remains one of MYL's best revenue growth opportunities."
