Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO) price target raised from $30 to $35.

Analyst, Michael Huang, said, "MDSO’s Q1 call was highlighted by accelerating app revenue growth, raised revenue/EPS guidance, more multi-product deals, a strong pipeline, and competitive takeaways. We were particularly impressed that roughly 25% of new customers purchased more than one product (vs. single digit % a year ago), which we believe reflects the credibility of MDSO’s broader platform and product cycles...We are buyers of MDSO given valuation that we see as favorable (2.9x EV/12Revs) and accelerating trends."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $1.28 to $1.12 and FY13 from $1.56 to $1.49.
