Barracuda Networks: Good quarter; Guidance could have been better;

​Business in flux mars outlook somewhat; Remain BUY: Following the company’s better than expected F4Q17 results (5th consecutive quarter of upside), we maintain our BUY rating and our $32 PT. Secular changes in the way IT is deployed – i.e. move to the cloud – is reducing the visibility of the business and the accompanying growth rates. However, we believe the core business is still intact and the growth rates do not reflect the strength in the business.
