Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Sourcefire (NASDAQ: FIRE) price target of $65.00.
Analyst, Scott Zeller, said, "After the close Monday, SourceFire preannounced positive for JuneQ, while also announcing CEO John Burris will take a leave due to illness. FIRE’s JuneQ is to be “at the high end to slightly above guidance range”, and we are anticipating a solid report, despite the macro uncertainty in news headlines.
"We believe fundamentals are solid" FIRE is one of our favorite ideas, as we believe the company benefits from positive drivers: (a) secular growth in IPS/next-gen firewall; (b) the “ramping” of several VAR partners that have yet to be fully productive, allowing for potential future revenue upside; and (c) our belief that Federal/government spending on IPS/next-gen firewall may be improving materially."
