Latest Pick: DataLink Will Ride the Data Center Transformation Wave

Datalink, Corp. (NASDAQ: DTLK)
Technology; Data Storage Devices; 30%-35% Upside 

Datalink is a data center service provider engaged in designing, deploying and managing data centers. The company also resells OEM products including servers, storage products and networking products. Datalink is a strong buy amid following reasons:

  1. Datalink offers flexible solutions from multiple vendors resulting in less risk from legacy storage headwinds.
  2. Strategy to pursue growth areas like private and hybrid cloud bodes well for the company.
  3. Datalink is a high profile player in data center infrastructure that is indicative of its competitive supremacy.
  4. DTLK is registering double digit growth, which was overshadowed by the earnings miss during Q1 2015.

We maintain a $13 price target for DTLK, which translates to an upside of around 30%. This price target attracts a multiple of 12.7 on forward consensus earnings indicating that the stock is undervalued. Note that Datalink's EPS is expected to grow 20% p.a. for the next five years. Detailed research can be accessed through First Movers.
