Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Medicis (NYSE: MRX) price target of $36.00.

Analyst, Randall Stanicky, said, "We have taken a deeper look into our MRX views post the quarter, as well as a fresh look at our model. The stock has been more stable since last year’s SOLODYN concerns and the late-year Graceway acquisition, up 10% YTD, or slightly below the S&P500 (+12%). From here, the story comes down to execution as we think about (1) driving product growth (SOLODYN and Zyclara key swing products), (2) progressing the pipeline and (3) more business development productivity. While we understand where potential for upside could come from, visibility is still limited for now and we see fewer obvious catalysts to get excited about. We think earnings will be the primary stock driver from here and remain below consensus though we have made several adjustments to our model."
