Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Qlik Technologies (NASDAQ: QLIK) price target of $29.00 (from $36.00)

Analyst, Raimo Lenschow, defends the stock despite Q2's pre-announcement to the downside.

Lenschow said, "...some weakness was caused by macro issues lengthening sales cycles and deal slippage, especially in Europe. However, the stock performance had already been pricing in significant bad news and the negative surprise was not actually as bad as some had feared leading to the shares relative outperforms despite the warning."

In conclusion, Lenschow sees strategic value, likes the long-term story and large market opportunity for Data Visualization offering complements to 'Big Data' vendors like SAP (NYSE: SAP), Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) and IBM (NYSE: IBM).
