UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN) price target lowered from $26 to $24.50.
Analyst, Jack Monti, said, "We expect inline 3Q results post close on Thurs May 17 vs. our sales/ EPS estimates of $132M (+25%)/ $0.16 ex options...Although our checks for Aruba remain broadly positive enterprise exposure has underperformed. Aruba’s exposure is likely more favorable vs. peers with less revs from financial/ retail, and gov exposure more levered to US DoD, but mixed lateral data points, as we first wrote about on 4/25 and 4/27, lead us to be more cautious. We now estimate 4Q sales and EPS to $138M (+21%) and $0.16 vs. Street consensus of $140M and $0.18. Our FY13 growth/ EPS forecast remains ~22%/ $0.78."
