Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on Rackspace (NYSE: RAX) with a Hold. PT $50.00.

Analyst, Greg Miller, said, "We believe Rackspace Hosting has one of the most attractive business models in the sector and benefits from a strong secular tailwind of the desire to outsource data center requirements. With less capital intensity than carrier-neutral models like Equinix (Nasdaq: EQIX), RAX’s managed hosting model could generate better near-term returns than others. Although several companies will likely come to the market in the next few years, we believe Rackspace will continue to be the dominant hosting company in a still highly fragmented market."
