Guggenheim initiates coverage on Nutanix with Buy rating and $100 price target

Guggenheim Research began coverage of Nutanix Inc. with a Buy recommendation and a $100.00 price target, citing the company's potential as a VMware replacement. The firm projects 17% total revenue growth for the current year, above consensus estimates, and highlights an 86.93% gross profit margin over the last twelve months. The coverage launch prompted the stock to rise around 1.5% in trading.

The initiation and $100 target suggest a higher valuation for Nutanix, which could lift the share price as investors adjust expectations. Guggenheim’s 17% revenue growth forecast signals stronger top‑line performance than consensus, potentially influencing analyst estimates and investor sentiment.
