Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on AmerisourceBergen (NYSE: ABC), PT $44.
Barclays analyst says, "After reviewing our ABC assumptions, we have raised our FY11 and FY12 estimates, taking FY11 EPS to $2.52 and FY12 EPS to $2.79. We believe we are on the way to another year of healthy upside for ABC, driven once again by a meaningful benefit from oxaliplatin. It appears that this product could generate another $100 million in profits to ABC this year after generating we estimate some $120 million in profits last year, representing what we believe have been 20%+ EBIT margins and representing an EPS contribution that has been 10% of total results these past two years, in our view. Quite impressive under any circumstances, but particularly when the product has not been available from any manufacturer since July 1 2010."
