Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We hosted Ranjan Kalia, VRTU's CFO, in Chicago and came away from the meetings confident management is executing well on its strategy to improve organic growth and drive margin expansion. With client-specific headwinds largely behind the company, improved pace of project ramps at customers, and strong pipeline trends we believe VRTU can deliver strong sequential growth in the upcoming 4Q and return to above-industry organic growth in FY18. At the same time, we believe ongoing restructuring efforts to drive operating efficiencies, higher utilization, and SG&A leverage can lead to strong margin expansion over the NT and MT. Based on our increased confidence in the revenue growth and margin expansion trends, we are raising our target to $38 and reiterating our BUY rating." (3/1/2017)
