Wedbush downgraded Raptor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RPTP) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $7.00 (from $10.00).

Analyst Gregory R. Wade said "We expect a decision from the FDA’s Office of Orphan Drugs on PROCYSBI’s potential orphan drug exclusivity in the next 6-8 weeks to be the next catalyst for RPTP shares. PROCYSBI has orphan drug designation, but a decision on orphan drug exclusivity, which would ensure at least 7 year of exclusivity, has not yet been rendered. PROCYSBI’s patents expire in 2027 . . .We arrive at our $7 price target by applying a 15x multiple to fully taxed (40%) 2016 EPS discounted annually 20%."
