Wedbush reiterates an 'Outperform' on Medivation (NASDAQ: MDVN) price target of $100.00 (from $86.00).

Analyst, David M. Nierengarten, said, "J&J (NYSE: JNJ) reported the full results of the ‘302 Phase III trial of Zytiga in prechemotherapy prostate cancer patients, showing a statistically significant increase in progression-free survival (PFS) and a nearly-significant trend to overall survival benefit...We view these results as a positive for MDVN’s enzalutamide (MDV3100), as enzalutamide showed better results in Phase II compared to Zytiga’s Phase II in pre-chemotherapy patients, and of course appeared to provide a greater benefit in Phase III post-chemotherapy patients."

However, Wedbush lowers FY12 EPS loss from (1.77) to (1.81) and raises FY13 from (1.79) to (1.01).
