Topeka Capital Sees Attractive Entry in Qualys (QLYS)

May 5, 2015 10:33 AM

Topeka Capital maintained a Buy rating on Qualys (NASDAQ: QLYS) with a price target of $61. The change follows disappointing Q1 results and guidance. Analyst Frederick Ziegel sees the recent decline as an attractive entry point.

"We reiterate our Buy rating and $61 PT because the central thesis hasn't changed - namely Qualys is very early-on with a product roadmap that will more than double its addressable market. Investors who obsess on the core VM business slowing to 19% from 20% the prior quarter miss the point. That said, QLYS has been priced for perfection, so even a nominal miss is not warmly embraced by investors. Those who have been wringing their hands looking for entry points, look no further than QLYS," said Ziegel.
