Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Vascular Solutions (NASDAQ: VASC), price target cut $1 to $14.50.

Canaccord analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "Q3 results were disappointing with revenue light and EPS modestly above our estimates with the help of a 2-cent one-timer. GuideLiner again led growth and should continue to do so going forward with the launch of a 2.0 version in Q4/11. Our thesis is unchanged –notwithstanding underwhelming guidance and lower forward estimates – as we continue to see a business model both delivering and primed for OM leverage, and one that has the propensity to layer on tuck-in acquisitions to augment growth/margins. Initial 2012 revenue guidance for 9% growth is underwhelming, albeit decent relative to a sluggish broad med-tech market at present. VASC continues to generate cash and has a solid B/S."
