- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "NetApp provides enterprise storage and data management software and hardware products and services. The company is benefitting from strong product adoption, increasing deal wins, and expanding customer base across varied geographies. Moreover, the company’s transition to data fabric strategy (a software-defined approach to data management) is expanding business opportunities. Further, the company increased momentum of its HCI and expanded new cloud partnerships, which contributed to overall revenue growth. Management remains hopeful about making the most of the exponential rate of data growth with its cloud-integrated all-flash solutions that fit well with hybrid cloud infrastructure. Notably, shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the past year. However, declining OEM revenues and competition remain the headwinds." (12/3/2018)
- 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Checks indicate NTAP’s file-based technology advantage being ported to hyperscalers will be sustained… … Which will continue to drive share gains in the significant on-premise storage market, even if DELL/EMC sustainably turns around mid-range business. Agreements (ELAs), product revenue decelerates to a still robust 12% y/y growth rate. Our extensive technology checks give us confidence recent momentum will be sustained, raising price target to $91, from $81 (see page 4)." (8/16/2018)
