Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Synageva BioPharma (NASDAQ: GEVA) price target of $60.00.

Analyst, Salveen Richter, said, "GEVA reported Q2 GAAP EPS of $(0.48), below consensus of $(0.44) and CGe of $(0.43), primarily driven by higher-than-expected operating expense ($10.2M vs. CGe of $8.9M). SBC-102, an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for LAL deficiency (LALD), should enter a pivotal, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in late-2012/early-2013, with additional P2 data presented at two medical meetings in H2 (SSIEM and likely AASLD). In addition, the company recently initiated a patient registry. GEVA is also developing a pre-clinical ERT for MPS IIIB – we expect an update on the program in FY13. We model for peak SBC-102 sales of ~$650M in FY20, and view SBC-102 Phase 2 extension trial data at the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors in Metabolism (SSIEM) meeting in Birmingham, England (September 4-7, 2012) as the next catalyst."
