Baird reiterated their Outperform rating and $32 price target on Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ: HGSI) following CHMP's positive opinion for Benlysta.

The firm states, "Remain buyers after CHMP's positive Benlysta opinion recommending approval in Europe. With a label and launch plan broadly within the range of expectations, we are not changing our EU revenue estimates. That said, given some recent concerns around an EU delay, we anticipate the stock should be up on this news. With reasonable near-term commercial expectations, we continue to recommend purchase into the low-$30s."
