Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Cepheid (NASDAQ: CPHD) price target of $50.00.

Analyst, Jeffrey Frelick, said, "We are reiterating our rating on CPHD following CE-mark for its Xpert Chlamydia/gonorrhea (CT/NG) tests. We view commercialization of key tests as important pieces to the mosaic, as CPHD leverages its large installed base across a broad and expanding test menu that drives the important metric, “clinical reagent sales growth.”"

"CT/NG set to kick off in Europe. As expected, CPHD announced CE-mark for CT/NG, bringing its ex-US menu to 13 tests. We expect U.S. approval by yearend."
