Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Aspen Technology (NASDAQ: AZPN), raises price target from $21 to $23.

Analyst, Richard Davis, said, "Aspen’s quarter supports our view that 1) the company is gaining share against legacy firms and point solutions, 2) it has extremely sticky applications (effectively 100% renewal rates) and 3) growth is accelerating. We are not sure how high is up in terms of growth, but it seems to us that this firm’s normalized organic revenue and cash flow growth will gradually accelerate into the 12-13% range and low-20% pace, respectively, over the next 12-24 months. If so, AZPN could reach a $25-30 price range depending on how aggressive you are in terms of multiple assumptions."
