October 10 Earnings: Barracuda - The Security Growth Story
Updated
Barracuda Networks has been on a stellar trend since they revamped their storage and SMB offerings in 2015.
The company's share price has gained over 250% since lows.
Barracuda's latest offering, Barracuda Sentinel, is helping boost subscribers to over 335K as of its latest release.
The company is expected to grow 2018 sales over 7% and 2019 at over 9%, with conservative estimates.
Cloud Security services are expected to grow at over 25% CAGR through 2022, allowing Barracuda to capitalize on subscriber growth.
Email Security, the company's strong suit is expected to grow around 7% through 2020, retaining consumers.
The number 1 risk is competition. The market is an incredibly dense one with the likes of:
Proofpoint PPFPT
Cisco Systems
CSCO
Microsoft
MSFT
Symantec SSYMC
Mimecast MMIME
Among others, all expected to grow security and cloud offering in double digits through FY 2019.
I believe the reward outweighs the risk for the to-be-reported quarter and start Barracuda with a $30.00 PT.
PT is 2-3 months, allowing for greater price flexibility.
