Riverbed Technology, Inc. (RVBD)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is into development of innovative and comprehensive solutions that address the inter-related root causes of poor performance of wide-area distributed computing: latency and protocol chattiness, and bandwidth limitations.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Well we 'all' know RVBD will come up, but when? At $26.5 I am 'buying' lower than many folks in this game. Did I get it right this time?

Cisco has inched into Riverbed's core business market segment, the enterprise customers, and has won more and more deals from Riverbed with bundled total solutions. I would think that going forward Riverbed has a tough time to compete with Cisco.

Recs 0 (RVBD) jwalsh71 (< 20) Submitted: 6/11/08 11:24 AM : Start Price: $14.24 RVBD Score: 1.26 Riverbed makes premium appliances that improve the efficiency of wide-area distributed computing, which is a growth market. The company cannot compete head-to-head with Cisco, but it can snap up rich niche markets with its premium product portfolio (e.g., Steelhead), and continue to increase its brand awareness and brand premium. Why do I keep emphasizing premium, premium, premium: the reason RVBD cannot compete with directly Cisco is simply scale of operations. However, RVBD can develop niche products that provide high margins, and the net margins can be reinvested into further development of more products and strategies. Neat. Meanwhile, there are probably companies that are looking to acquire a company like Riverbed before it gets expensive again... the brand and product line has been successfully developed, and with a PEG ratio of 0.95...I like that Riverbed!

They recently expanded into mexico. Also, they have a very good balance sheet and very good growth. I think the high P/E will remain because of the strong pontential of the company. My one year target estimated price is $44.00 with a P/E of 100. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
