In a report released yesterday, Marshall Senk from Rosenblatt Securities reiterated a Buy rating on Hortonworks (NASDAQ: HDP), with a price target of $25. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $16.94.
Senk noted:
“We believe that HDP has been under unwarranted pressure since earnings were reported due to investor concerns regarding both broader market demand and timing issues around billings. We believe investors should be looking through these factors as they don’t reflect the strength in the current business. We believe the pipeline remains robust, new products such as Data Plane are gaining traction and HDF continues to be a key differentiator in the open source marketplace.”
