Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Hi Tech Pharmacal (NASDAQ: HITK) price target of $45.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "We hosted both CEO David Seltzer and CFO Bill Peters of Hi-Tech Pharmacal at our annual growth conference today, and this follows our management meetings in NY last week. We believe investor interest in the name has picked up for three broad reasons: 1) solid organic growth opportunities funded through R&D potentially misunderstood by the Street; 2) almost ~$90 million in cash with no debt, or close to ~20% of the equity cap; and 3) a high-barrier core asset base that is trading at historically low valuations at ~4.6x EV/EBITDA on fiscal 2014E. At our conference, our fundamental view of the business was reinforced as HITK plays in high-barrier, niche markets that should see support over the next 6-12 months as business development becomes a growing focus for use of cash."
