We are upgrading Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) to Outperform based on the company's strong third quarter results and improving prospects. Onyx reported solid third quarter results with revenues increasing 19.3% to $89.5 million, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $81 million.
Third quarter 2012 loss of $0.89 per share was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.08. Recently launched Kyprolis is off to a solid start and the strong ramp should continue.
