Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on ValueClick, Inc (NASDAQ: VCLK) price target lowered $1 to $22.

Analyst, Kerry Rice, said, "We expect a sharp decline in ValueClick’s share price given the weaker than expected 1Q12 results and guidance. We believe the lower than expected guidance may not be as bad as feared as Street expectations may been too linear and not weighted enough towards 2H. Management remains confident in ValueClick’s ability to exceed $700 million in 2012 revenue and sustain 30% EBITDA margin. Therefore, the share weakness could provide an attractive entry point, in our opinion."

FY12 lowered from $1.20 to $1.14 and FY13 from $1.42 to $1.30.
