Goldman Boosts Price Target on Rackspace (RAX)

Goldman Sachs maintained their Neutral rating on Rackspace (NYSE: RAX) but boosted their price target to $64.00 (from $52.00).

Analyst Scott Goldman said "In our view, RAX’s financial performance provided enough to mitigate the bear thesis. While growth further decelerated ahead of the August 1 launch of OpenStack, revenue met expectations driven by a rebound in installed base growth; we estimate the 30 bp improvement, to 1.0%, contributed $2mn to revenue versus last quarter. While we do not view RAX as a near-term margin improvement story, profitability easily surpassed expectations, jumping 170 bps, to 35.1%."
