Wedbush assumes coverage on Achillion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACHN) with a Outperform. PT $13.00.

Analyst, Akiva Felt, said, "...the company continues to make progress developing its internal pipeline of Hepatitis C drug candidates. Meanwhile, ACHN may also benefit from renewed interest in DAAs outside the nucleotide class of drugs, particulrly if upcoming data from Gilead’s (Nasdaq: GILD)(Not Rated) GS-7977 in genotype-1 (GT1) treatment-naïve patients leaves room for improvement."

"Our optimism for ACHN reflects a rising likelihood that non-nuc DAAs will be a significant part of all-oral HCV treatments. In light of the company’s potential to capitalize on the multi-billion market for HCV therapy."
