Piper Jaffray Upgrades Riverbed Technology (RVBD) to Overweight

October 26, 2009 6:53 AM EDT

Piper Jaffray upgrades Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq: RVBD) from Neutral to Overweight. Price target $24.

Piper analyst says, "We believe the sell-off in RVBD shares following what should have been viewed as a very solid Q3 earnings announcement was unwarranted and has created an attractive entry point for growth focused investors. The concerns regarding enterprise weakness was likely overblown as we believe RVBD prioritized on the near-term opportunities in the Government vertical during Q3, but the pipeline in the enterprise vertical remains robust and will likely bounce back materially in Q4. We also believe the Government vertical will remain strong in Q4 given large deals in this space typically roll out over multiple quarters...We believe Riverbed's Q4 revenue guidance of $104-$107M is relatively conservative and sets the stage for a potential beat and raise in the future. This guidance reflects 1.4 - 4.3% q/q growth and is well below historical Q4 growth rates."
