Needham & Company maintains a 'Strong Buy' on Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) price target of $8.00.

Analyst, Sean McGowan, said, "GLUU announced better-than-expected 1Q results; we are raising our FY estimates for ’12 as a result. Non-GAAP revenues rose 25.6% YoY to $21.6 mm, while we expected non-GAAP revenues of $17.5 mm. 1Q non-GAAP EPS were a loss of $0.01 versus our estimate of a $0.09 loss and consensus expectations of a $0.08 loss. Revenue growth was catalyzed by better-than-expected gains in smartphone revenues, which grew 158% YoY on a non-GAAP basis to $17.4 mm. The company continues to see gross margin expansion (88.4% in 1Q ‘12 vs. 77.8% in 1Q ’11) as a greater proportion of its product portfolio features original IP; all 2012 releases feature owned content."
