Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Volcano Corp. (NASDAQ: VOLC) price target raised $1 to $28.

Analyst, said,"VOLC missed consensus revenue estimate for the second straight quarter after >20 upside quarters since its IPO six years ago. That said, results were in line to slightly above our targets. VOLC maintained 2012 guidance, albeit FX headwinds make the low- to mid-point of revenue guidance ($392-397M) more likely, in our view. Worldwide IVUS catheter growth was solid (12% vs. 5%E), and management sees stabilization in PCI procedures in the US, with trends improving in H2. As expected, FM drove overall growth (+37% vs. 34%E). VOLC enjoys a top-notch senior management and sales team, and plenty of cash with which it could acquire complementary products. We favor buying pullbacks in the low $20s vs. chasing the stock in the high $20s."
