Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ: WCRX) price target of $22.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "WCRX was up 8% Friday and 22% in the last two weeks helped by press reports from The Times of London that Bayer is looking to make a bid for the company. The likelihood of a take-out we think may be unlikely but should not be dismissed. A combination of an inexpensive stock, ongoing strategic needs to sustain growth, uniquely tax advantaged platform, significant private equity ownership (~ 30%) and incentivized management team means that a wide range of value creating opportunities are likely being looked at. Bottom line, we still think it’s hard to point to timing and source of upside but we continue to like the stock as a value play."
