Credit Suisse upgraded Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) from Neutral to Outperform with a price target of $31.00 (from $27.00) amid diversified growth.
Analyst K. Garcha commented, " We believe Juniper is transitioning through the IT disruption and volatile service provider market successfully. With a strong product portfolio, share gains in switching, and increasingly diversified product offerings we see the revenue and the business sustainably growing +3.7%/+3.8% per year for FY17/18, driven by the cloud vertical, which should drive operating leverage with gradual EPS growth, adjusting FY17 and introducing FY18 EPS forecasts of $2.29 (from $2.20)/$2.40 for FY17/18, respectively. Given this strong execution, we upgrade to Outperform (from Neutral) and increase our target price accordingly to $31 (from $27), reflecting ~15% of upside vs. current levels."
