Jefferies initiates coverage on Dendreon Corp. (Nasdaq: DNDN) with an Underperform rating and $5 price target, suggesting 35% downside.

The firm comments, "Our analysis and survey results show Provenge to be relegated to a niche position by competition in a lucrative market with anemic sales. Near-term volatility is expected with limited sales visibility on current commercialization snags. Despite mid-term profitability, DNDN’s potentially meager cash flows are accompanied by debt overhang. Initiate with an Underperform and $5 PT."
