Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY) price target of $32.00.

Analyst, Richard Davis, said, "Yesterday afternoon, Bottomline announced that it has entered into a partnership with Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU), under which EPAY will acquire the firm’s commercial banking business for $20 million in cash. With the acquisition, EPAY accelerates the transition of its commercial banking solution to the cloud by adding more than 500 cloud-based cash management customers. The transaction will expand EPAY’s reach beyond the Global 150 (adding optionality to go down market), and after a period of investment the firm will emerge with a cloud-based, subscription model in all three of its growth businesses – legal, B2B payments, and now banking. We view the partnership and transaction favorably and continue to expect EPAY shares to advance in line with mid- to high-teens intermediate-term (post F2012E) organic earnings growth."
