Auriga upgraded EMC (NYSE: EMC) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $28.00.

Auriga analyst says, "We expect EMC will continue to be a share-gaining leader in the very attractive storage space, and its exposure to other high growth markets beyond storage suggests a top-line CAGR of 10%+ is sustainable. We also believe EMC can continue to push margins modestly higher, and thus bottom-line growth of 15% appears very possible, placing EMC into the group of elite large cap growth names in the tech space. After the recent market sell-off, we now believe EMC shares are attractively priced given that outlook, and we believe EMC's high exposure to a staple area like storage offers some protection during a downturn, thus we are upgrading the stock."
