Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on St. Jude Medical (NYSE: STJ) price target of $42.00.

Canaccord analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "We continue to model ’11 and ’12 CRM sales growth of 1% and 2%, respectively, which would constrain overall top-line growth as CRM is >50% of sales. That said, STJ has a robust pipeline (e.g., CardioMems, TAVI); ergo successful, on-time launches could improve top-line growth relative to our current targets in out years. We are bullish about STJ’s ability to leverage manufacturing changes to deliver GM expansion in 2012-2014. While we expect the stock to trade in a range of $36-$42 over the next six months, noting few near-tem drivers, we would be
constructive adding to positions below this range."
