Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Leap Wireless (NASDAQ: LEAP) price target of $7.00.

Analyst, Greg Miller, said, "Yesterday it was announced that Leap will become the fourth carrier to offer the iPhone with a well-below-market average subsidy. We believe investors will soon see if US consumers are willing to pay the point-of-sale premium (100%) to achieve the recurring expense savings versus the larger carriers. We believe it is virtually impossible to suggest the risk/ reward favors the stock with this agreement with Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), of which few details are known. Priced at 3.9x est. 2013 EBITDA, the stock remains among the ranks of similarly priced companies whose future is in doubt."
