Oppenheimer reiterates an 'Outperform' on Curis (NASDAQ: CRIS) price target raised from $6.00 to $7.50.

Oppenheimer analyst says, "Curis and partner Genentech/Roche (OTC: RHHBY)(Not Rated) announced the approval of Erivedge (vismodegib) for the treatment of Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and pricing of $7,500/month. The approval is ahead of the March 8th PDUFA date. We believe that the market's negative reaction may be due to the recent runup in the stock (buy on the rumor, sell on the news) and/or the blackbox warning label regarding pregnancy. In our view the birth-defect risk is expected, based on the drug's mechanism of action."
