Benchmark upgraded Open Text (NASDAQ: OTEX) from Sell to Hold.

Benchmark analyst says, "We are raising our rating on OTEX to Hold as we believe the recent sell-off in the stock limits further near-term downside risk. OTEX’s shares have fallen 27% from their 52-week high set in mid-July, are down 21% since our April 28 downgrade and have broken through our (former) $52 price target."

"Though we still remain concerned by a number of issues facing the Company — including increasing execution risk, relatively high US government and financial services exposure, an aging multiple-moving parts product line and sub-par organic revenue growth, we believe the risk/reward profile is now more appropriately balanced and we see limited further downside in the shares."
