RBC Capital upgraded Quotient Technology (NYSE: QUOT) from Sector Perform to Outperform with a price target of $15.00 (from $14.00) following In-Line Q3, with very robust and accelerating Transactions growth driven by continued Retailer iQ adoption, offset by some softness in the Media segment.

2) Retailer IQ Traction – Quotient now has 19 (vs. 18 in Q2) major retail banners implemented and 13 marketing (in-line with Q2). Quotient also announced it signed a large retailer in the Drug channel onto Retailer iQ in Q3.

3) Margin Trends – Organic Gross Margin of 61% was up an impressive +130 bps Y/Y, while EBITDA margins of 13% were up >900 bps Y/Y and >120 bps Q/Q and the highest EBITDA margins have been since H2:14.
