What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways
Several firms, including DA Davidson, UBS, JPMorgan and BofA, raised price targets into the low US$30s after Q1, citing what they describe as solid or good results and healthier SaaS trends helped by the Duo Agent Platform.
Needham and BTIG moved targets to the mid US$30s, highlighting broad Q1 beats, stronger gross bookings and early DAP progress, with BTIG pointing to upcoming monetization levers as a potential support for GitLab’s agentic software story.
Morgan Stanley, Cantor Fitzgerald and RBC Capital all lifted targets modestly, pointing to solid execution, improved demand indicators and new logo growth, even while keeping more balanced ratings.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
BofA, UBS and Morgan Stanley reference a tougher second half setup, with Q2 and implied second half revenue guidance pointing to slower growth and management keeping full year assumptions relatively cautious.
Several firms, including BofA, BTIG and Morgan Stanley, flag RPO and billings trends, SMB and price sensitive customer pressure, tech sector layoffs and GitLab’s Act 2 restructuring as reasons to see risk and to wait for clearer evidence of durable growth reacceleration.
