Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Horsehead Holding (NASDAQ: ZINC) price target of $13.50.

In this note, we summarize key aspects of the company’s zinc price hedging program, which will remain in place while the new plant is under construction...Assuming a cash balance of $253M plus $100M in newly issued convertible notes, we calculate ZINC trades at 2.1x EV/2012E EBITDA. For comparison, our universe of Recycling/Enviro."
