Auriga maintains a 'Hold' on Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD) price target lowered from $29 to $26.
Auriga analyst says, "Product transition in a seasonally soft quarter was listed as the primary reason for the soft guide; RVBD expects growth to accelerate there-after to lead to 17%-20% annual growth. While a revenue decline in the midst of a product transition is not surprising, we take a cautious view on the longer-term growth prospects of the company as we see WAN Optimization market slowing down, competition from Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO)(Buy) heating up and RVBD likely stretched too thin with multiple product initiatives. We would advise investors to stay on the sidelines until growth momentum from newer initiatives become more evident."
