Jake Roberge’s rating is based on Appian’s recent performance and strategic initiatives. The company reported strong fourth-quarter results, surpassing expectations in key areas such as Cloud revenue growth. This growth is supported by the adoption of Appian’s Advanced platform tier, particularly among new customers, although there is an ongoing effort to increase adoption among existing clients. The pricing of the Advanced tier at a premium is expected to be a growth driver in the coming years.
Additionally, Appian’s federal business and GAM suite are experiencing positive momentum, with opportunities arising from governmental interest in technology for efficiency. Despite concerns regarding public sector spending, the potential benefits from DOGE could enhance GAM suite adoption. Furthermore, Appian’s adjustments to its sales strategy, including a focus on larger customers, are beginning to show positive outcomes. However, these changes may require more time to fully impact the company’s overall performance, leading to a Hold rating.
In another report released today, TD Cowen also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $43.00 price target.
