UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Cadence Pharma (NASDAQ: CADX) price target of $3.00 (from $4.00).

Analyst, Ami Fadia, said, "Our takeaway: Ofirmev’s sales remain disappointing; 2Q guidance at risk...IMS reported extended unit sales for the month of April were 30.0M (implying $3M in sales for the month of April), -8.9% vs. March sales of 33.6M units. We assume for now that the sales trajectory will improve over the next 2 months and Ofirmev will be able to meet management’s guidance of $10.0-10.4M for 2Q12. However, we are lowering our sales trajectory for the
product beyond 2Q12 and now estimate sales of $45M for 2012 ($80M previously) and 4100M for 2.013 ($180M previously). This impacted our 2012 and 2013 EPS ests. by -$0.26 and -$0.59, respectively.
