Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Amarin Corporation (NASDAQ: AMRN) price target of $25.00.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating and price target on commercial, partnership potential of AMR101. We think AMR101, Amarin’s 96 p potential of AMR101. % EPA omega-3 for high triglycerides, will be approved for hypertriglyceridemia on its July 26 PDUFA data and expect IP and business development progress in H2/12."

"We think NFR prior art baseline triglyceride (TG) claims argument is weak. The NFR includes a number of new prior art references to establish close and overlapping baseline TGs with those claimed in ‘408 and ‘889. We note overlap occurs on the high end of the prior art range of a single study and do not believe prior art high TG sub-analysis was done."
