Stifel analyst Annabel Samimy downgraded Horizon Therapeutics (HZNP) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $116.50, down from $138, after Horizon announced a deal to be acquired by Amgen (AMGN) for $116.50 per share following what Samimy calls "a quick process." While the price "gives fair value to the portfolio," Samimy was "surprised there was little value ascribed to pipeline," which is both "deep" and in Amgen’s "wheelhouse," specifically in inflammation and nephrology.
