• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "PRFT reported 4Q results that were above consensus on both the top and bottom line following the 3Q guide-down. While project delays and disruptions and elongated decision cycles weighed on performance in the back half of the year, we see signs of stabilization entering FY17. Management provided guidance for the year that was largely in line with consensus on both revenue and EPS, and reflecting stability at large clients and healthy bookings trends. While elongated deal cycles may persist as broad macroeconomic and policy caution looms, we believe the risk-reward remains favorable with shares trading at roughly 13x our FY18 EPS estimate. We maintain our BUY rating and raise our target to $21." (3/1/2017)
