May 22, 2009 9:31 AM EDT

Wedbush Morgan upgrades Aruba Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARUN) from Hold to Buy. Price target increased from $4.50 to $7.

Wedbush analyst says, "Our upgrade is based on the following reasons; (i) improved visibility in the key education, government and healthcare verticals (ii) continued share gains at the expense of rivals Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Motorola (NYSE: MOT) (iii) growth in sales and the customer base despite market conditions (iv) emergence of IBM as a significant partner (v) potential catalyst with earlier than expected N ratification and (vi) guidance which appears reasonable with potential upside to estimates. We think improved visibility and gathering momentum in the government, education and health care verticals (>50% of sales) should allow the company to meet or exceed estimates over the next four quarters and we advise investors to buy the stock."
