Baird reiterates an 'Outperform' on Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ: HGSI) price target of $32.

Baird analyst says, "Incrementally positive on HGSI following a solid Q211 report, showing Benylsta off to a strong US launch (revenue of $8M was in-line). While still early days, our checks - along with management commentary - suggest Benlysta is on a trajectory of rapidly accelerating uptake. Therefore, we remain confident in our above-consensus 2011 Benlysta estimates, and continue to want to hold HGSI shares for the next few quarterly prints. Remain aggressive buyers."
