Baird Downgrades NetApp (NTAP) to Neutral

Baird downgraded NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $27.00 (from $35.00) following a mixed quarter and soft guidance.

Analyst Jayson Noland commented, "We do believe NetApp is showing progress, but a challenging macro plus an incrementally competitive Storage market make for a meaningful headwind. We view cost structure reduction as a positive for the stock that will provide downside support along with valuation. Our revised price target of $27 is based on 9x F17E non-GAAP EPS plus 50% of the net cash position."
