Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX) price target of $43.00.

Analyst, George Farmer, said, "In our view, expected H1/12 read-out from the Phase III MISSION trial of Nexavar in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most significant near-term catalyst for ONXX shares. We see limited upside even on positive trial data, given: (1) subgroup confinement to the 70% of NSCLC patients with non-squamous disease, (2) side effects limiting potential treatment duration, and (3) few real-world patients reaching targeted 3rd/4th line of therapy. We await MISSION data before modeling Nexavar sales in NSCLC."

"Maintaining our rating on ONXX shares, we caution against over-enthusiasm for select near-term 2012 catalysts related to Nexavar and regorafenib."
