Morgan Stanley upgraded Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD from Equal-weight to Overweight Monday and raised its price target from $100 to $104.


Analyst Matthew Harrison felt that price fears were exaggerated. Analysts at Bank of America and Deutsche Bank predicted a possible price war following the decision of Express Scripts to chose AbbVie Inc ABBV as its exclusive supplier of hepatitis C treatments.

Harrison saw an improved risk-to-reward ratio now that shares have declined and felt the company can maintain a 75 percent market share even with the AbbVie price discounts.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. recently traded at $96.86, up 3.27 percent.
