Wyeth provides limited update

13 April 2009

Analysts at Zacks Investment Research currently rate shares of US drug major Wyeth, now the subject of a takeover by pharmaceutical behemoth  Pfizer, a hold with a $49 price target. Their target assumes Pfizer  shares trade up near $16 (currently $13.49) by the expected close date  of the transaction in the third or fourth quarter. At an exchange ratio  of 0.985 and combined with the $33 cash per Wyeth share, this equates to  roughly $49 a share.
