Barclays Says 'Log Me Out,' Double Downgrades LogMeln To Underweight

Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow double downgraded LogMeln (LOGM) to Underweight from Overweight and cut his price target for the shares to $74 from $104.

The stock closed yesterday at $83.44.

The core LogMeln offering around the Gravity platform is at the end of its growth trajectory, as the impact of pricing is weakening, Lenschow tells investors in a research note titled "Log Me Out." At the same time, LogMeIn's current collaboration offering faces increased competition and has a dated product set, says the analyst. Lenschow believes the only "viable choice" for LogMeln is to "double down" on the next market - Unified Communication as a Service.

However, this transition "would not be without hurdles" given increased competition and the need to invest in sales capacity, he notes. As a result, the analyst expects LogMeln shares will likely be relative underperformers.
