Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX) price target of $43.00.

Analyst, George Farmer, said, "We are buyers following recent pullback of ONXX shares as Nexavar franchise strength and pipeline diversity drive accretive value...We see only upside from potential FDA accelerated approval of the carfilzomib NDA for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma by the July 27 PDUFA date. We believe full approval only is priced in the stock, which would be supported by the Phase III ASPIRE trial now fully enrolled ahead of schedule. Interim data could come H1/13. As discussed before, we like the near-term risk/reward for potentially positive top-line data expected H1/12 from the Phase III Nexavar MISSION trial in advanced non small cell lung cancer. Nevertheless, we see a limited Nexavar sales opportunity in this setting."
