Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX) price target of $23.00 (from $24.00).

Analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "We maintain our rating and adjust our PT ahead of the closing of the Gen-Probe (Nasdaq: GPRO) acquisition. We favor the potential outputs of the acquisition– namely sales synergies and potential for cash flow accretion and growth augmentation. We also remain constructive regarding growth potential of the Breast Health business – namely potential inflection point with 3D Tomo over the next 18-24 months. That said, we have some concern regarding integration performance, notwithstanding our belief that GPRO is a best-in-class asset that could augment long-term FCF growth. While we would be buyers if shares dip into the $17 range, we would wait to be more constructive until we see the initial performance and projections for the combined company, which will be inherent in FQ4 results (Oct)."
