Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Elan Corp (NYSE: ELN) price target of $15.00 (from $20.00).

Analyst, Corey Davis, said, "After top-line Bapi failure ELN valuation clearly rested on Tysabri. By spinning-off early-stage discovery, Tysabri profitability, growth, and margin expansion flows through to investors unencumbered, and ELN can become more strategic. Some minimal uncertainty remains around non-Tysabri issues (AIP, D5), but Tysabri growth can drive this ship for a while in our view. We remove Bapi from our valuation and lower target to $15."

FY12 EPS estimate raised from (0.11) to (0.07) and FY13 from $0.18 to $0.43.
