"While Shutterfly continues to deliver double-digit organic sales growth and is leveraging a three-year technology and fulfillment driven investment cycle, with slowing growth in Consumer and a lack of traction in digital we believe the risk/reward is balanced and remain Neutral rated," analyst Heath Terry wrote in a note.

Shutterfly also raised the low end of its FY16 revenue guidance to $1.13 billion–$1.16 billion (from $1.12 billion–$1.16 billion earlier), bracketing consensus of $1.15 billion. Goldman cut its 2016 revenue forecast by 1 percent to $1.148 billion and adjusted EPS by 11.6 percent to $0.68.

Terry, however, raised his price target goes to $50 from $48.

Shares of Shutterfly closed Wednesday's regular trading session at $49.43 and were up 7.77 percent in the first hour of Thursday's regular trading session, at $53.27.
