Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN) price target of $60.00.

Analyst, Peter McDonald, said, "For 1Q12, ILMN expects revenues of ~$270MM, ahead of street consensus ($258MM) and our $254MM estimate, as well as the quarterly guidance. ILMN noted across the board strength and highlighted a book-to-bill ratio over 1.1. Overall, we believe these results reflect a number of positive drivers and bode well for the outlook in 2012. In the interim, we continue to expect the deal with Roche will be consummated -- however the price needs to be higher -- reflecting ILMN's leadership position, product pipeline, and potential commercial opportunities in clinical diagnostics."
