Citi Downgrades VMware (VMW) to Hold

July 23, 2008 8:55 AM EDT

Citi downgrades VMware Inc (NYSE: VMW) from Buy to Hold. Price target lowered from $52 to $33.

Citi analyst says, "VMW has dramatically reset their model based on fumbled execution, diminished visibility due to a U.S. slowdown and signs Europe is catching the same cold, and a CEO change which introduces the potential for even more executive change and departures going forward. These changes could cause further disruption within a business that is already suffering execution issues. We are not moving to a Sell because VMW’s opportunity is still abundant and our new valuation framework assumes a 1x PEG."

VMware, Inc. is a provider of virtualization solutions from the desktop to the data center.
