Needham & Company reiterated its Buy rating and $11 price target on Cempra, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEMP) following Q4 results.

The firm comments: "Cempra announced 2011 financial results last week and presented additional data at the ECCMID conference over the weekend. The company maintained guidance for initiation of an oral solithromycin Phase 3 program in 2H12. Results of a Phase 1 IV solithromycin program are not expected until 2H12 (was 2Q12). A Phase 2/3 Taksta trial in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is on track for 4Q12. We believe the stock looks attractive for the long-term investor at current valuation (~$95M EV), given strengths of the two antibiotic programs and unmet needs in the pneumonia and prosthetic joint infection markets."
