Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) price target of $160.00.

Analyst, Michael Huang, said, "Salesforce delivered yet another strong and impressive bookings quarter (up 34% y/y, up 36% normalized for term length), which likely helps mitigate skeptics’ concerns over the direction of trends.
We continue to believe that salesforce is the highest quality and largest scaled SaaS name in our universe, best leveraged to the rising strategic importance of SaaS and Enterprise Social trends."

"For FY13, we are raising our revenue estimate to $3 billion (from $2.95 billion) and our EPS estimate to $1.65 from $1.63."
