Wedbush is maintaining its Outperform rating on shares of Sangamo BioSciences (NASDAQ: SGMO), but is lowering its price target from $14 to $12.

The Company recently completed an equity offering of 6.7 million shares for $7.70 per share. This offering raised $57.6 million in net proceeds and moves SGMO's total share count to ~53 million.

With the $57.6 million that the Company just generated being combined with the $60 million in cash that it ended 2010 with, the firm believes SGMO's strong balance sheet puts it on firm negotiating grounds for a potential therapeutic partnership for SB-509 or SB-728-T should the clinical data turn out positive in H2:11.

The firm is raising its 2011 EPS estimate from a loss of $0.54 to a loss of of $0.48. Wedbush's 2012 estimate is a loss of $0.44.
