Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX) price target lowered from $48 to $43.

Canaccord analyst, George Farmer, said, "We would be aggressive buyers on anticipated share depreciation following increased near-term c-mib regulatory risk...Onyx announced FDA decision to review the New Drug Application (NDA) for carfilzomib (c-mib) under a Standard Review timeline, with a PDUFA date of July 27, 2012. We believe the decision not to grant c-mib a Priority Review, along with discouraging comments within FDA’s notification letter shared by the company, puts accelerated approval at significant risk. Hence, we do not assume c-mib will reach the market next year as originally modeled."
