F5 Networks (FFIV) at Risk Says Barclays (BCS)
F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV) is still at risk concerning margin and growth, according to Barclays (NYSE:BCS) Capital analyst Jeff Kvaal, who said he is “not at ease” with how the growth of the company is slowing, along with its operating profit margin of 38 percent.
“We believe F5’s 40%+ hyper-growth phase has ended, as server virtualization matures and F5 presses into new but competitive markets,” noted Kvaal.
On the other hand, “Virtualization, cloud, and mobile data remain healthy long-term drivers of 20-25% growth – in line with F5’s consensus 2012 growth of 20%,” he added.
Even though the share price has recently gotten cheaper, Kvaal said the stock could still get punished by investors:
"We believe investors are unlikely to look through the Japan and federal concerns given last quarter’s weak results. In F1Q11, F5 was impacted by a book to bill below 1, increasing DSO’s and slower growth in the company’s core ADC market. We expect it will be increasingly difficult for the company to rebuild backlog and improve sales metrics in the face of these headwinds in the near term should they prove to be formidable."
F5 was trading at $93.38m, falling $1.31, or 1.38 percent, as of 2:43 PM EDT.

Barclays (BCS) Successfully Growing Brand in U.S., Landing Big Deals
Barclays (NYSE:BCS) has been working hard to implement its five-year plan to boost its brand in the U.S., and has won some significant deals along the way.
Barclays Capital, a division of Barclays PLC, "had roles in the $4.7 billion debt financing for KKR & Co.'s (NYSE:KKR) buyout of Del Monte Foods Co. and the $3.4 billion financing for the buyout of Tomkins PLC, the two largest leveraged buyouts of 2010. It also had recent big loan-refinancing deals for Dunkin' Brands Inc., Burger King and Michael Foods," according to the Wall Street Journal.
"Now it, along with other lenders, faces speed bumps. In the past two weeks, $19.5 billion of leveraged-loan and high-yield bond offerings have been postponed or canceled because of market turmoil, according to Standard & Poor's Leveraged Commentary & Data. That put a crimp on an otherwise strong start to the year.
"Through last week, Barclays had 33 U.S. loan deals this year, totaling $10 billion, nearly double in number what it had during last year's full first quarter, according to Dealogic. It currently ranks fourth among U.S. leveraged lenders, up from eighth last year."
Barclays was trading at $18.88, gaining $0.03, or 0.16 percent, as of 1:58 PM EDT.
