AstraZeneca Lifts Profit Target

Stock quotes in this article: AZN  

Pfizer successfully defended a major Lipitor patent in the U.K. recently, but a Pfizer defeat in the U.S. will have a ripple effect on the entire market, Purcell says. If Pfizer loses, Crestor's U.S. market share could stall, hurting AstraZeneca's long-term EPS estimates by 5% or 6%.

Purcell doesn't own shares, but his firm plans to receive or seek investment-banking compensation from AstraZeneca in the next three months.
