Oppenheimer Sees Checks Into Fortinet Indicating A Positive Q2

Oppenheimer is positive on Fortinet Inc (NASDAQ: FTNT) ability to drive long-term growth, given its growing product line.

"Following a round of mid-Q checks with 24 VARs," the note read, "We believe: 1) FTNT is on track to at least meet 2Q guidance. We note that linearity trends continue to normalize (~25/30/45%) vs. 1H15 panic buying mode; therefore, our positive view will be revisited. 2) Geographical performance is replicable to recent quarters, indicating a slight upside in Europe (~36% of revs) and stable growth in the US. 3) Initial reception of new FortiGate 2000 & 6000 NGFW products is positive, on top of ongoing strength in high-end appliances (FortiGate 3000 & 5000)."
