UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY) price target raised from $22 to $26.

Analyst, Matthew Roden, said, "Key takeaways from Incyte’s 1Q12 [1] Patient and physician demand for Jakafi were higher than expected, and will drive upside to Street numbers; [2] datapoints suggest a long runway remains after strong initial demand (only 15% of accounts penetrated so far, 75% of patients are in community setting, which is still largely untapped); [3] payor coverage appears solid ahead of formulary determinations; [4] management has executed on the launch, and is continuing to manage expectations; and [5] good opex control illustrates discipline and lower financing risk."

FY12 EPS loss raised from (1.06) to (0.94) and FY13 (1.01) to (0.23).
