As previously reported, Summit Research analyst Srini Nandury downgraded Splunk to Hold from Buy. Nandury noted that the downgrade is not a call on the company's Q2 results, as he believes Splunk's momentum "continues unabated" and that its fundamentals are intact. However, the analyst tells investors this morning that he thinks tech stocks "are in for a major correction" and that "high flyers" like Splunk will see their multiples compress more than other tech names. Nandury cut his price target on Splunk shares to $50 from $84, stating that to remain at current levels, Splunk has to not only beat estimates "handily" but also must guide up "significantly."
