As previously reported, Baird analyst Jonathan Ruykhaver initiated Carbon Black with an Outperform rating and $20 price target, saying the most influential factor in his positive rating is the fact Cloud Subscription ARR grew to $81M with essentially one product -- CB Defense -- and the company now has its enterprise grade EDR on the cloud platform along with a managed services wrap around, which has proven to be a successful equation in endpoint security. In addition, the analyst says FY19 guidance appears conservative and the EV/Sales multiple is at the bottom end of the comp group.
