Nutanix should be bought on any weakness, says RBC Capital
RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg says that Nutanix reported "strong" results, and he believes that the company's raised Q2 guidance "looks conservative." The analyst says that any weakness in the stock should be used "as an opportunity to own a disruptive vendor in the cross-hairs of hybrid-cloud computing." He raised his price target on the stock to $38 from $36 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.
