Jefferies raised estiamtes and its price target on Amylin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLN) from $30 to $32 saying IMS data supports upside to 2012 Bydureon sales.

"Our prior analyses suggest that the first year of sales can be extrapolated from the first 5 weeks of a drug launch, a critical point just crossed for Bydureon. Linear extrapolation of IMS data lead us to raise our 2012 sales estimate from $118m to $175m, well above Street consensus of $128m. We are raising our PT to $32 as we believe the Street has underestimated the potential of the Byetta/Bydureon franchise."

FY12 EPS goes from ($0.96) to ($0.77) and FY13 from ($1.21) to ($0.59).
