Barclays initiates coverage on Splunk (NASDAQ: SPLK) with an Overweight. PT $40.00.

Analyst, Raimo Lenschow, said, "The company offers a platform solution that enables customers to store and analyze machine data, a category of data that previously had been mostly ignored due to the huge volumes involved. The potential usage cases for Splunk's offering are very diverse and hence the true long-term addressable market could be much larger than currently discussed."

Lenschow also noted that SPLK has had a very successful IPO and the stock could see a short-term period of consolidation, but suggests investors use weakness to build positions.
