Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Abaxis Inc. (NASDAQ: ABAX) price target of $28.00.
Analyst, Jeffrey Frelick, said, "We expect ABAX to report June Q1//F2013 sales of $39.1M (+9%), below consensus of $40M. Our EPS estimate of $0.18 compares to consensus of $0.17."
"ABAX shares have run up significantly YTD in the wake of competitor IDEXX's (Nasdaq: IDXX) announcement it will give up one of its three exclusive national distribution agreements. While we agree this is a positive for ABAX, we think the shares have run too far, too fast."
Overall, Frelick thinks the long-term outlook is promising, but lack of clarity around near-term catalysts, valuation, and economic challenges, keeps the firm sidelined.
