Oppenheimer initiates coverage on Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: JAZZ) with an Outperform. PT $66.00.

The firm comments, "We believe JAZZ's lead marketed product, Xyrem, for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy, will continue to bolster top-line growth as JAZZ continues to leverage price increases with volume growth. We currently estimate US peak sales of ~$1.1B in 2020. JAZZ's recently announced acquisition of EUSA Pharmaceuticals not only provides an EU commercial footing but also serves as a basis for a cancer portfolio that JAZZ can expand on longer term. We believe JAZZ may further increase shareholder value via additional business development activities centering on specialty and/or orphan products."
