Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Buy' on F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) price target raised from $95 to $110.

Deutsche analyst says, "Impressive Q4 results: revenues of $314.6 m (up 24% annually) and pro-forma EPS of $1.06 – both solid beats versus our estimate and consensus. The Q1 guide ($317.5 m / $1.00 [mid-point]) bracketed our estimate and consensus. Book/Bill was greater than 1.0x. We view F5 as a pure-play on strong FY12+ product cycles, with near-term growth likely to re-accelerate, based on the ramp of major ADC use cases (SSL offload, mobile data, Web security, etc)."
