Citi maintains a 'Hold' on Somanetics Corp (Nasdaq: SMTS), raises price target from $21 to $25.

Citi analyst says, "SMTS reported solid results last night and cancelled its previously scheduled conference call for this morning in light of its pending acquisition by Covidien (NYSE: COV) (Buy-rated). We continue to see little risk to the deal closing with no other obvious suitors or significant regulatory issues...Consistent with our view that the COV will acquire outstanding shares for $25 in cash by the 7/31/2010 targeted closing date, we are increasing our target to the agreed upon price. Immaterial estimate changes reflect results of the recent quarter."
