Auriga upgraded Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) to Buy with a price target of $24.00.

Auriga analyst says, "For Myriad, FY12 should be a solid year -- guidance looks conservative and achievable, the sales force is being expanded, two new tests will be launched, Europe will go live and its pipeline of new tests should continue to advance. In the near-term, MYGN's FY12 guidance looks conservative and we would not be surprised to see shares appreciate as higher BRACAnalysis sales, continued growth in other tests, and news flow around Prolaris drive renewed interest in MYGN shares. While we see some challenges from the broader economy, we believe MYGN's current valuation and cash position (~$5/share) provide a measure of downside protection."
