Wedbush initiates coverage on Imperva (NYSE: IMPV) with a Neutral. PT $34.00.

Analyst, Rohit Chopra, said, "We believe the LT outlook for the company is positive given its positioning as a leading player in one of the fastest growing segments of the security market, data security, which is growing at 20%+ y/y...Our enthusiasm for the secular tailwinds is tempered by a premium valuation which leaves little room for error, near-term spending, lack of near-term profitability and global macro issues, especially in Europe. We would be more constructive given a pullback in the shares, improvements in the IT spending environment and visibility into the ramp of profitability."
