Wedbush upgraded Entravision Communications (NYSE: EVC) two-notches from Underperform to Outperform with a price target of $2.50 (from $1.40) citing growth and an undemanding valuation.
The firm comments, "The key to our call – on our new 2014 estimates, our higher PT reflects compelling reward/risk; our 2013E EPS goes above Street to $0.11 from $0.08 on debt repayment. New opportunities for 2013 are border markets, Affordable Care Act advertising, and radio network expansion – a competitor conference this week could be a catalyst for broader investor focus on these. EVC is staffing up to capture new spending from Mexican marketers targeting the border markets. Of the 47m uninsured in the U.S., ~30% are Latino, and EVC sees as an example of the ad opportunity, the $90m being budgeted in 2013 for messaging around the changes in California, where ~60% of uninsured are Latino. We estimate that EVC's radio network could generate up to $5m more in revenue in 2013 on its 2012 expansion to 313 affiliates targeting a ~$100m market."
