Dougherty & Co downgraded Interactive Intelligence (NASDAQ: ININ) from Buy to Neutral, price target cut from $45 to $35.
Dougherty analyst says, "While we continue to like the secular growth prospects of Interactive Intelligence, we, however, see two risks on the horizon: (1) The mix shift in orders toward Communication-as-a-Service (CaaS) introduces uncertainty to our 4Q11 and 2012 estimates, and further, 2012 could turn into a transition year if the adoption of CaaS among larger customer accelerates. (2) More near-term, the elongation of sales cycle due to challenging macro introduces another element of uncertainty to 4Q, though to a certain extent, the company could benefit from deals that slipped to 4Q from 3Q but are already closed during the first three weeks of this quarter."
