The Small Cap Network (smallcapnetwork.com), a leading online investment community focused on small cap companies, has issued an analysis of Targacept Inc. (TRGT) following the company's announcement on Wednesday regarding its ADHD treatment AZD3480.

The agreement between AstraZeneca and Targacept could eventually mean a $100 million milestone payment for Targecapt if additional development and sales objectives are met. If AZD3480 is found to be effective and marketable in the treatment of other ailments, royalty payments to Targecept could increase even further.
