Varonis Systems (VRNS) Receives a Buy from Oppenheimer


In a report released today, Shaul Eyal from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Varonis Systems (VRNS), with a price target of $68. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $63.96.

Eyal commented:

“VRNS will be transitioning its business model to a subscription-driven from a perpetual license one in a move that caught the Street quite by surprise. Similar transitions, while longer term beneficial (better predictability and profitability), have taken their near-term tolls given heightened investments. The final outcome from a customer perspective is to sell a higher number of products (licenses) into VRNS’s growing install base, a move that is supported by the two-quarter pilot period recently completed by the company. If history is any guide, VRNS has proven its ability to put its money where its mouth is and deliver operationally. The transition will take place over the next six months and shares could be affected during this period.”
