Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALNY) price target of $16.00.

Analyst, Alan Carr, said, "Alnylam management reviewed 4Q11 in a quarterly conference call yesterday after market close. With the January 2012 restructuring, the company is placing greater emphasis on development of ALN-TTR-02 (transthyretin amyloidosis) and ALN-APC (hemophilia). ALN-TTR-02 may be ready for a pivotal Phase 3 trial in 2013. ALN-APC is expected to enter the clinic in 1H13."

"The stock has done well over the course of 2H11 and into 2012, in concert with positive developments from the company pipeline. We continue to believe the stock is undervalued (~$300M EV). Recent ALN-PCS and ALN-TTR proof of concept data have broad positive implications for RNAi therapy as a whole."
