Roth Capital reiterated a Buy rating on AcelRx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACRX), and raised the price target to $8.50 (from $7.50), following announced monetization agreement. The agreement with PDL BioPharma (NASDAQ: PDLI) will bring in $65 million for 75% of AcelRx's E.U. royalty revenues and 80% of the first four undisclosed sales milestones.

Analyst Michael Higgins commented, "AcelRx announced a monetization agreement with PDL BioPharma (PDLI - NC), bringing in $65 million for 75% of AcelRx's E.U. royalty revenues and 80% of the first four undisclosed sales milestones. AcelRx has a marketing agreement with Grunenthal (private) to receive 15-25% royalties on E.U. sales. We believe this agreement eliminates near-term dilution risk while increasing AcelRx's focus on Zalviso's U.S. opportunity. We're looking forward to a regulatory update next Friday, during the October 2nd Analyst Day."
