Veeva price target raised to $300 from $270 at Needham

Needham raised the firm’s price target on Veeva (VEEV) to $300 from $270 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings beat and guidance raise. Despite concerns related to Salesforce’s (CRM) recent announcement of winning Takeda (TAK) for CRM, Veeva is executing well on the conversion to Vault, with over 200 customers expected to be live by company’s summit next spring, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Veeva also believes that custom builds for companies like Takeda may prove too costly, leading the company to see opportunities for competitive win backs, the firm added.
