Sebastien Naji’s rating is based on F5 Networks’ recent performance and future outlook. The company has shown strong results with a significant increase in both revenue and non-GAAP EPS, driven by a favorable tax rate and a successful hardware upgrade cycle. Additionally, F5 Networks has provided optimistic guidance for the upcoming quarter, supported by the ongoing demand for AI-driven app delivery and security capabilities.
Despite these positive indicators, Naji remains cautious due to the stock’s significant re-rating over the past year and uncertainties surrounding the sustainability of its growth rate into fiscal 2026. While F5 Networks has consistently outperformed expectations, there are lingering questions about its ability to maintain mid- to high-single-digit growth. Therefore, Naji prefers to adopt a wait-and-see approach, resulting in a Hold rating for the stock.
In another report released today, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $312.00 price target.
