Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Cepheid (NASDAQ: CPHD), raises PT from $30 to $36.

Canaccord analyst says, "We reiterate our rating on CPHD as it demonstrates the GeneXpert system continues to be the molecular instrument of choice with 120 systems placed in Q1. In addition, test revenue grew 24%. Given the premium valuation, we expect some investors to take a pass on shares of CPHD. However, we continue to expect GeneXpert to build on its 14% US penetration as the focus shifts to mid-volume hospitals, really leveraging CPHD’s strengths."
