Salesforce.com: Piper Upgrades

Piper Jaffray analyst Mark Murphy this morning raised his rating on Salesforce.com (CRM) to Overweight from Neutral, while keeping his $115 price target.

He offers four reasons for the upgrade:

  • The stock is down nearly $20 in the past two weeks, moving back below his target.
  • Transaction volume growth has accelerated to 53% in the first two months of Q3, up from 50% in Q2.
  • The company has ramped job postings by 30% in September, the largest increase in 2 years, reflecting a bullish view of business prospects.
  • The skyrocketing Euro will benefit revenue growth.

Nonetheless, the stock is down $1.88, or 1.8%, to $103.07.
