H.C. Wainwright Maintains Their Hold Rating on Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ)

H.C. Wainwright analyst Oren Livnat maintained a Hold rating on Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) today and set a price target of $147. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $136.68.

Livnat said:

“Our $147 12-month target (from $153) is based on a DCF, which reflects a strong 15% 2019-22 cash- flow CAGR, a 10% WACC discount rate, and negative 3.5% terminal growth after 2022 given conservatively assumed modest Xyrem franchise headwinds partially offset by other products’ continued growth.”
