Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO) price target of $33.00.

Auriga analyst says, "We are reiterating our rating on MDSO in light of recent investor calls with management, whose strong performance is offset by a wave of bearish signals on the surface, compounded by a challenging market backdrop. In our view, while not recession-proof, MDSO's pharma and biotech customers are impacted more by regulatory events (e.g. FDA decisions) and less the global economy. In fact, MDSO delivered then-record bookings during the recession of 2009 and is hovering slightly above its $15 IPO price despite our expectation for operating income this year to be triple that of 2009. We recommend aggressive purchase of the shares at current levels."
