Oppenheimer maintains an 'Outperform' on Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST) price target raised from $45 to $49.

Analyst, Christopher Holterhoff, said, "While we expect 1Q12 US Cubicin sales to
be generally in-line with our expectations ($187.8M), we see upside during 2012,
with Cubicin sales growth driven by increased use in the anti-staph market (14%
share as of Nov. '11) and increased usage in the outpatient setting...We anticipate modest near-term upside on Cubicin revs, with longer-term upside driven by pipeline advancements." (FY12 EPS estimate lowered slightly from $2.59 to $2.56)
