Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Exact Sciences (NASDAQ: EXAS) price target raised from $10 to $13.

Auriga analyst said, "Exact Sciences reported 4Q11 results of $1.0MM/$(0.18). Given EXAS is a development stage company, earnings are not as important as clinical milestones and timelines. Enrollment trends in EXAS' ongoing 10,000+ patient trial remain on track, and the company expects to add 20 new clinical sites in 1Q12 . Enrollment should be completed in 3Q12, with results possible in early 4Q12 (these timelines could prove conservative). Overall, EXAS continues to make steady progress on what could potentially be a game-changer in colorectal cancer screening. EXAS is well funded, and all key development timelines remain on track."
