Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY) price target of $31.00.

Analyst, Thomas Wei, said, "INCY management shared several encouraging data points during recent meetings and reiterated its belief that 2Q12 sales were negatively impacted by a higher discontinuation rate following an initial wave of sicker patients who initiated therapy in late 2011/early 2012. We remain encouraged that an improvement in this discontinuation rate could lead to stock upside as sales improve."
