Stifel Starts Nutanix (NTNX) at Hold

Stifel initiates coverage on Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) with a Hold rating and a price target of $35.00.

Analyst Aaron Rakers commented, "We are initiating coverage on Nutanix with a Hold rating and a $35 target price – 4.8x EV/sales on our C2017 estimate. We establish C2016, C2017, and C2018 revenue (+ change in deferred) estimates at $796.6M (+78% y/y vs. +102% y/y in C2015), $1.044B (+31% y/y) and $1.432B (+37% y/y). We think Nutanix has solidly positioned / differentiated itself to be one of the primary beneficiaries of the fast growing adoption of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) - a market continuing to evolve as one of the most disruptive trends in enterprise storage; IDC currently estimates HCI to grow from ~$950M in 2015 to +$5.6B by 2020."
