Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Avanir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AVNR), PT $6.

Canaccord analyst, Ritu Baral, says, "We remain confident of Nuedexta IP to 2026. ‘282 is a composition of matter patent on the dextromethorphan /quinidine combination dose used in Phase 3 and commercial Nuedexta. We think the surprising findings claims (based on higher than anticipated efficacy in PBA for lower disease) in the patent further strengthen Nuedexta’s IP position...As a result, we see weakness on the knees on yesterday’s paragraph 4 as overdone. We do not think the filing represents real risk and remain focused on the velocity of the Nuedexta launch."
