Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Sell' on Seattle Genetics (NASDAQ: SGEN), PT $10.

Canaccord analyst, George Farmer, says, "We view share weakness as a consequence of perceived regulatory complications, topped valuation, and sentiment shift. We remain sellers of SGEN stock."

"We expect continued pressure on shares as the SGEN investment theme transitions from regulatory to commercial. Among Bexxar, Zevalin, Ontak, Targretin, Campath, Zolinza, Folotyn, and Istodax – all examples of r/r hemeonc drugs such as Adcetris – none have ever made a meaningful commercial impact, highlighting lack of precedent for a successful Adcetris launch."
