“After a 10.8 percent sell-off across our coverage list in 4Q16, with six stocks declining by more than 20 percent, we enter 2017 with several high-quality cloud franchises that have compelling growth prospects yet are valued at favorable entry points,” Bracelin explained.
Pacific Crest's 7
Here are Pacific Crest’s seven top cloud stock picks:
- Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE).
- Ellie Mae Inc (NYSE: ELLI).
- HubSpot Inc (NYSE: HUBS).
- Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).
- salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE: CRM).
- Twilio Inc (NYSE: TWLO).
- Veeva Systems Inc (NYSE: VEEV).
Bracelin pointed out that public cloud spending is currently around $58 billion per year, but the rate should triple to $205 billion by 2020. He projects SaaS spending alone will grow 20 percent annually to $129 billion by 2020.
Yet, despite the impressive growth numbers, the post-election technology selloff has SaaS stocks trading at just 5.4x FTM EV/S compared to their historical multiple of 7.2x.
Following an upgrade of Twilio to Overweight, Pacific Crest now has Overweight ratings on all seven of the cloud stocks mentioned above.
