Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Cempra, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEMP) price target of $11.00.

Analyst, Alan Carr, said, "Cempra management hosted a 1Q12 conference call yesterday after market close. The company maintained guidance for initiation of an oral solithromycin Phase 3 trial in Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP) in 2H12. A Phase 3 plan has been submitted to the FDA, but the company is still awaiting a response for confirmation of trial design. Results of a Phase 1 IV solithromycin trial are expected in 2H12, which may facilitate partnership discussions. We believe the stock is attractive for the long-term investor at current valuation (~$70M EV), given strengths of the two antibiotic programs and unmet needs in the pneumonia and prosthetic joint infection markets."
