Cowen analyst Eric Schmidt reiterated an Outperform rating and raised his price target on Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) to $500.00 (from $425.00) following BIIB037 data.

commented, "BIIB037 (aducanumab) demonstrated an impressive time and dose dependent reduction in decline of cognition as measured on MMSE (76% and 81% at 3 and 10 mg/kg) and CDR (71% at 10 mg/kg). Consistently, a-beta plaques were cleared close to normal at the highest dose. Safety appears acceptable.
