Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Vascular Solutions (NASDAQ: VASC), PT $15.50.

Canaccord analyst says, "Q1 top and bottom line results were strong – up 17% and 35%, respectively – and above our expectations. The company maintained 2011 guidance calling for 15%+ revenue growth and 35%+ earnings growth. Top-line growth was again led by GuideLiner, which is now annualizing at nearly $10M in revenue and could be a $30M product in a few years, in our estimation. Pronto catheter sales also grew over 15%, with new sizes in the new V4 line coming later this year. OM of 13% expanded from 11% Y/Y and VASC expects OM to hit 18-20% by year-end, with 20%+ OM at a revenue run rate over $100M (which we model in 2012E)."

"In sum, we think this model is primed for continued OM leverage on solid double-digit topline growth; consequently, we think VASC represents a very attractive small-cap GARP idea at current levels...We maintain our 2011 estimates at $90.5M (+15% Y/Y) and $0.52 (+38% Y/Y)."
