Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Splunk (NASDAQ: SPLK) price target of $40.00.

Analyst, Raimo Lenschow, said, "Our license and total revenue growth forecasts are slightly above the street. More importantly, we think there will be a small guidance raise in Q2 similar to last quarter as the "beat and raise" approach goes on. However, we do not think management is compelled to immediately guide aggressively given that upside room needs to be left for Q3 and Q4."

Longer-Term, fundamental basis isn't changed although near-term valuation could remain an issue for performance.
