Benchmark reiterates a 'Buy' on Rackspace (NYSE: RAX) price target raised from $60 to $66.

Benchmark analyst, said, "As one of the founders of the open-sourced cloud platform OpenStack, Rackspace could benefit from increased visibility and momentum of OpenStack during and after the The OpenStack Conference & Design Summit from April 16-20 in San Francisco. This event is a possible catalyst for the stock...We expect another strong quarter. Our estimates are in-line with the Street consensus, which is $300 million in revenue (31% y/y growth) and $0.18 of GAAP EPS."
