Great CC... -$142 million in cash. -Guiding Q2 Revs @ $38-$42 million. -Forecasting Margins @ 78-79
No reason for this stock to be cut in half in less than a month. The answer to the BOFA analysts question was very telling, my interpretation was they are sandbagging Q2 guidance for a blowout next Q jmo. Holding a pile of calls and will not be selling anytime soon. GLTYA

Needham & Company analyst Alex Henderson reiterated a Strong Buy rating and $34 price target on Gigamon (NYSE: GIMO) following an upbeat analyst day.
Henderson commented, "Gigamon's analyst day covered the core issues and we believe it reaffirmed the strength of the story. Management’s timing was good -- by having an analyst day right after missing CY1Q, they had an opportunity to look investors in the eye and say this was not a structural problem but a one-time event. Management reaffirmed its conviction on the company's growth potential, strong systemic drivers, and its unrivaled competitive position."
