UPDATE: Jefferies Starts SolarWinds (SWI) at Buy

(Updated - November 21, 2014 9:00 AM EST)

Jefferies initiated coverage on SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI) with a Buy rating and a price target of $60.00.

Analyst John DiFucci commented, "We believe that SolarWinds’ unique disruptive model is the most important characteristic of the company, but that strong underlying technology has also always been a key factor, and its growth is underappreciated. We believe SWI’s web-based marketing, low cost/low touch sales model, low average transaction sizes, hyper-efficient and effective R&D process, and highly profitable and outsized maintenance revenue pose a disruptive presence in the markets it serves and will continue to drive meaningful growth with sustained high operating margins."
