Wedbush assumes coverage on Idenix Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: IDIX) with a Outperform. PT $14.00 (from $16.00).

Analyst, Akiva Felt, said, "We are assuming coverage of Idenix with an OP rating and $14 fair value on the market potential for IDX184, the sole unpartnered clinical-stage nucleotide drug for HCV. Following the recent acquisitions of HCV nucleotide developers Pharmasset for $11.1B and Inhibitex for $2.5B, we continue to view IDIX as an attractive candidate for partnership or acquisition as IDX184 remains the only clinical-stage nucleotide candidate available for such transactions."

Wedbush adjusts FY12 EPS/Revs from (0.53)/$7.4mln to (0.27)/$40.1mln.
