As reported by TheFly, Tomer Zilberman, an analyst at BofA, initiated coverage of Extreme Networks, Inc. with a ‘Buy’ rating and a $24 price target on November 19. The firm bases this upside potential of about 34% on several growth catalysts, including campus network refresh and modernization projects, the WiFi-7 upgrade cycle, and rising adoption of cloud- and SaaS-based products. The analyst believes these drivers could push the company’s performance above market expectations.
