Needham & Company Upgrades Extreme Networks (EXTR) to Buy

Needham & Company upgraded Extreme Networks (NASDAQ: EXTR) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $3.75, saying the stock is too oversold.

Analyst Alex Henderson commented, "We believe Extreme is making the right decisions, demonstrating improvements in its go-to-market strategy, finishing significant investments in training and service capabilities, and is now poised to pivot top growth. You wouldn't know it from the recent stock action, though --- down over 30% post a pretty good quarter and solid top-line guide. In addition, we estimate Extreme will generate $0.50-0.75 in cash to go with the $0.23 already on the balance sheet. By the end of CY17, this would put EXTR at just 5.5x EV/E. We think the stock can and will rebound as these stronger trends and trajectories become increasingly evident. Accordingly, we upgrade EXTR to Buy and set a target price that simply has EXTR rebounding to the recent levels."
