Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Pernix Therapeutics (NYSE: PTX) price target of $15.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "Pernix announced an agreement with a private company to license a new FDA-approved un-named gastroenterology (GI) product in the US on a royalty-based fee structure with a $2M up-front payment and $2M payment upon commercial launch. We expect the launch mid year with a specialized sales force build, with more details likely closer to launch. The move to further broaden the therapeutic footprint is consistent with both company strategy and our expectations and a further endorsement of management’s commitment to pursue business development to grow the platform. Track record thus far has been solid, and we anticipate continued activity ahead."
