Goldman Sachs upgraded Broadsoft (NASDAQ: BSFT) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $31.00.
Analyst, Simona Jankowski, said, "The stock’s recent pull-back (-47% over three months; S&P500 -1%) offers more than 30% upside to our $31, 12-month price target. We estimate BroadSoft’s top- and bottomline CAGR at over 20% over the next three years, driven by the secular shift in enterprise telephony to hosted VoIP/Unified Communications, which we estimate is currently at mid-single-digit penetration. Moreover, we view BroadSoft’s defensive high-margin software model as attractive in the current environment, with 42% of sales coming from maintenance/ services, and license sales tied to end user adoption vs. carrier capex."
FY12 EPS estimate raised from $0.51 to $0.58, FY13 from $0.94 to $1.17 and FY14 from $1.44 to $1.71.
