Canaccord Genuity reiterated their Buy rating and $66 price target on Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE: NUS) saying "focus can now return to the fundamentals and the enormous success of product launches occurring this quarter in the Greater China and SE Asia regions."

The firm sees a powerful product cycle, coupled with a concerted effort to improve margins that should drive above-average EPS growth.

Canaccord is raising F2012 and F2013 EPS estimates to $3.03 and $3.45 from $2.95 and $3.40, respectively, to reflect the stronger-than-expected launches this quarter.

NOTE: Shares of NUS have been under pressure as they've been tied to David Einhorn's potential short on Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) and speculation he would mention it at yesterday's Ira Sohn conference. Einhorn did not mention the stock.
