Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Volcano Corp. (NASDAQ: VOLC) price target of $27.00.

Canaccord analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "We maintain our rating on the heels of VOLC’s Q4 revenue miss - its first since going public. Much lower Industrial (non-medical) revenue more than offset FM and IVUS performances, both of which were in line to slightly above expectations. We continue to harbor concerns about the future trends in US PCI procedures, ergo anticipate negative impact from RAC audits in cath labs, mix shift from inpatient to outpatient procedures (impacts cath lab profitability), and generally slower procedure volume partly due to the high number of uninsured). We recommend investors remain on the sidelines, albeit see a better risk/reward entry point under $20/share, all things equal."
