Wedbush maintains an 'Underperform' on Entravision Communications (NYSE: EVC) price target of $1.30 (from $1.60).

Analyst, James Dix, said, "On the top line by segment, our 2012 core (ex-political, retrans, etc.) revenue growth estimates go to +6.4% for TV and to -1.5% for radio, from +7.7% and +1.2%, respectively. We see a stronger 3Q giving way to core deceleration in 4Q, offsetting political boost. Our 2012 political revenue estimate is essentially unchanged at $10.5m. Thus, a slightly higher margin assumption is what holds our EBITDA estimate essentially unchanged for 2012. For 2013, our core revenue growth estimates go to 3.0% for TV and flat for radio, from 4.5% and 3.0%, respectively, bringing down our EBITDA estimate slightly."

FY12 EPS Estimate raised from $0.08 to $0.12 and FY13 from $0.04 to $0.08.
