Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Avanir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AVNR) price target of $6.00.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating and price target on Nuedexta’s steady, continued growth, robust peak sales estimate. Nuedexta is AVNR’s drug for pseudo-bulbar affect, emotional lability seen in stroke, traumatic brain injury and other neurodegenerative disorders. Launch has been modest but steady, and we see new positive trends in long-term care use. Our peak annual sales estimates are $350M US, $300M EU."

"Phase 2 MS Pain PRIME trial well underway; PBA prevalence data from PRISM registry expected in 2012. We expect PRISM and PRIME data (H2/13) to be sales and stock drivers."
