Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on Furiex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: FURX) with a Buy and $45 price target.

The firm comments, "We are initiating coverage oF Furiex Pharmaceuticals (FURX) with a BUY rating and $45 price target. We like these type of stories that include a combination of: (1) highly visible cash-based valuation upside potential; (2) sizable pipeline opportunities that we think are underappreciated; (3) catalysts that can unlock value; and (4) a limited following that has the story off the radar of many. Our launch timing coincides with the Friday evening US approval of DPP-4 inhibitor Nesina (along with two combo drugs) by partner Takeda that we think can bring an inflection in the stock. Our $45 target implies 112% upside."
