Goldman Sachs removed Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX) from its Conviction Buy List but maintained a Buy rating and raised its price target to $52 from $47.

The firm sees greater upside in Volcano (Nasdaq: VOLC), which was added to the Conviction Buy List. The analyst notes: 1) VOLC has greater upside (28%) and (2) there is lower upside to our price target for ONXX (16%), which we still consider attractive.

Goldman notes the company is closing in on two key catalysts. They believe expectations for Nexavar Phase 3 data for lung cancer (anticipated this quarter) and potential early FDA approval of CFZ for blood cancer (July 27) remain low.

Goldman bumped FY12 EPS from ($2.82) to ($2.77), FY13 down from ($2.26) to ($3.18) and FY14 down from ($1.12) to ($1.92).
