Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on NetSuite (NYSE: N).

Analyst, Michael Huang, said, "We had the opportunity to catch up with several Netsuite partners, including a couple former Microsoft ones, and a competitor to get a perspective on underlying trends. The takeaways were unwaveringly positive, highlighted by increasing deal sizes, improving close rates, shortening sales cycles, strengthening pipelines and improved customer/partner satisfaction. We’re incrementally more positive on N shares."

"Whiles shares are not inexpensive at 9.6x EV/12Revs and while risk/reward arguably could be more favorable at other SaaS names, we believe the near term trade is to buy this one ahead of quarter report on Feb 2. Although partners historically have drained their pipelines in Q4, we’re encouraged to uncover that this year partners noted impressive activity early in Q1."
