Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Hi Tech Pharmacal (NASDAQ: HITK) price target of $45.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "YTD performance (down -18%) and attractive valuation (4.5x EV/EBITDA on fiscal 2014E) have created a pick-up in interest in the stock. Upcoming fiscal Q4 EPS (week of July 9) could see pressure on a combination of lower cough and cold and higher near-term SG&A spending (we recently cut EPS to $0.73 from prior $0.81). Street EPS has remained largely static (consensus at $0.78) since early March, creating what could be a tougher set-up. Absent something unforeseen from results, we think a pull-back on results could create a buying opportunity on an attractive high barrier generic asset we continue to like into fiscal 2013."
