RBC analyst Michael J. Yee recommended buying Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ICPT) on the pullback from recent highs. Comments follow feedback from investors following Nash data. In addition, Yee raised the possibility of a takeover.

"ICPT is +27% but off highs of +45% (profit taking on a stock up this much, and investors still doing work on the market opportunity, digesting the data.). We're buyers because it's significantly more de-risked and our confidence on $5B+ estimate is higher," said Yee.

Yee went on to say Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) should acquire Intercept. Other potential acquirers include Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), and Merck (NYSE: MRK),

"GILD should acquire ICPT or this is easy for JNJ, BMY, MRK, etc," he said. "What about all the other big indications: PSC, BAD, etc etc. Tons of other indications to go after now that a BD at pharma would love to pursue long term."

RBC Capital has an Outperform rating on Intercept Pharmaceuticals with a price target of $500.00
