Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Pernix Therapeutics (NYSE: PTX) price target of $14.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "Pernix announced after the close the acquisition of Great Southern Laboratories for $4.9 million. The acquisition adds manufacturing capabilities which PTX intends to use as it further expands its portfolio into OTC and prescription products. With ~$39 million in cash (Q1) and a stated intention to continue to look at business development opportunities, we expect PTX to stay active in its search for deals that diversify the revenue stream and support the P&L. Currently trading at ~12.0x 2013E EPS, we see risk/reward favorably given our robust 39% estimated 3-year EPS CAGR off 2011."
