MGI Pharma initiated with "hold"

NEW YORK, November 18 (newratings.com) - Analysts at AG Edwards initiate coverage of MGI Pharma Inc (MOGN.NAS) with a "hold" rating.

In a research note dated November 16 and published yesterday, the analysts mention that MGI Pharma’s revenue and earnings growth has been driven by the company’s successful acquisition and integration of the lead product, Aloxi. Since its launch in September 2003, Aloxi has been received well in the market and its 2004 sales are expected to be higher than the estimates by $150 million, the analysts add. The drug’s reimbursement advantages are, however, likely to significantly reduce in 2005, AG Edwards says.
