UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Molina Healthcare (NYSE: MOH) price target raised from $22 to $31.

UBS analyst says, "We modestly increase our FY’12 EPS estimate to $1.82 (vs. $1.80 guidance), up from our prior $1.75 estimate and representing 17% YoY growth. Our Price Target is increased to $31 (from $22) and is based on a target multiple (~17x) in-line with its Medicaid peers which we now see as warranted given the diminished uncertainty for Molina’s key Washington state market post RFP awards in mid-Jan as well as Molina’s above-average exposure to states (CA/MI) that are likely to be among the first to transition a significant amount of its Dual Eligibles to Managed Care."
