Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) price target of $155.00.

Analyst, Rick Sherlund, said, "Salesforce.com will report Q4 (Jan) F12 results on Thursday, February 23. We believe Salesforce will likely exceed current consensus revenue estimates for Q4 12 of $624mn, as well as implicit billings guidance of $918mn - $922mn. We maintain a Buy rating, but near term good news is likely priced into the stock, which is up 26% CY2012 YTD. The shares are selling at 35x EV to NTM unlevered cash flow. We think the company has robust growth potential as it begins to deliver a much broader product footprint and leadership in creating a new category around the social enterprise."
