barrons3	The price action in Apple is interesting, says Guy Adami. Apple led us up and I can’t help but wonder if it’s about to lead us down. But you know what tech stock I do like? NTAP (NTAP), he says.	Love	December 09, 2009

barrons3	Finally and perhaps most important, NetApp (NTAP), the tech storage company that I have flogged endlessly, put up a terrific quarter and raised guidance. Given that tech was weak today, this could turn that cohort around.	Love	November 19, 2009
barrons3	The Semiconductor Index (SMH) broke it’s 100-day moving average, explains Joe Terranova. In this space it’s important to be selective. I like Broadcom (BRCM), NetApp (NTAP) and Novellus (NVLS).	Love	November 04, 2009

barrons3	Outperform - Price 21.92 on Aug. 26 by Morgan Keegan NetApp announced the rollout of Data OnTap 8, which substantially improves caching and clustering functions. Additionally, the company preannounced several forthcoming features related to data migration and management. Current customers can upgrade to the new version at no cost, therefore near-term revenue will not be impacted by this announcement. However, we believe this rollout and the new management functionalities the company plans to add ... will make NetApp more competitive in this space and potentially bring in new business down the road. Market cap: $7.4 billion.	Love	August 29, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	In a July 28 <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/p/_search/rmoney/jimcramerblog/10555109.html" target="_blank">post to his <I>RealMoney</I> blog</a>, Cramer worte that <B>SPSS'</B> (SPSS) acquisition by <B>IBM</B> (IBM) reminds me of <B>Data Domain</B> (DDUP) and how Netapp is still out there, doing better than expected but too cheap to stay independent. And on July 10, he said on <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10540799/1/mad-money-lightning-round-network-appliance-is-on-fire.html" target="_blank">his "Lightning Round" segment</a> that NetApp "is a winner" and its "business is on fire."

barrons3	We know the companies have war chests. Cisco (CSCO) has raised a lot of money, NetApp (NTAP) has raised money. EMC (EMC) has raised money. The last two are in a bidding war for Data Domain (DDUP) that seems to be incapable of producing a loser, as all of the stocks involved have been in the move.	Love	June 18, 2009
barrons3	NetApp's (NTAP) not going to go down without a fight, but the company's clearly trying to be a consolidator, so wouldn't it make sense for the company to buy someone else if it fails in its Data Domain quest?	Love	June 18, 2009
barrons3	Also, keep an eye on NTAP (NTAP). - Guy Adami	Love	April 22, 2009
skeeua	Was going to say GE; use to be. Old management could think; and think for themselves and not "go with the crowd"; thought they could have had management that could see ahead and the problems of subprime market? Plus I know have to question other decision making such as divestitures they've made; did they get a good price? Not that it really matters now does it? ANYWAY, NTAP IS A WELL RUN COMPANY IN A VERY GOOD AREA; DEFENSE CONSULTING; ETC.; ... AND THEY'RE DEVEPING A VERY GOOD REPUTATION NOT ONLY IN THEIR INDUSTRY BUT WALL STREET AS WELL.

The company earned $37.7 million, or 11 cents a share, up from $34.3 million, or 9 cents a share earned in the year earlier period. Despite sluggish macroeconomic conditions, the company expects increasing business in storage infrastructures in the upcoming quarters. In the second quarter NetApp anticipates revenue in the range of $910 million to $940 million and it expects to earn 16 cents to 19 cents a share. "Our new fiscal year got off to a good start, and our efforts to increase awareness and sales capacity in order to secure new customers are delivering results," said Dan Warmenhoven, chairman and CEO. "Despite economic uncertainty, customers have continued to expand and evolve their storage infrastructure and are looking to NetApp to help them reduce costs and enable new capabilities." Needham analyst Glenn Hanus has a buy rating and $30 target price for NetApp noting the healthy quarter and new buyback. He said, "NTAP is executing well and remains an exceptionally strong and well managed company. We generally view any substantial pullbacks as buying opportunities."	Love	September 03, 2008
