Cantor Fitzgerald maintains a 'Buy' on NewLink Genetics (NASDAQ: NLNK) price target of $18.00 (from $15.00).

Analyst, Mara Goldstein, said, "We are raising our 12-month price target to $18 based on our view that the Phase II data generated by HyperAcute Pancreas provides some de-risking to the Phase III trial, prompting us to reduce our five-year discount rate to 45% from 50%."

"We like NewLink for its pipeline of products addressing large and lucrative unmet medical needs and have greater enthusiasm post-ASCO given data presented...We have also updated our estimates to reflect 1Q:12 actual results. Based on a higher share count our new EPS forecast for 2012 is ($1.77) from ($2.98) and our 2013 forecast is now (2.07)."
