Jason Ader has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight GitLab’s strong performance and future potential. Despite the conservative guidance for the third quarter and full year, which was influenced by go-to-market transformations and challenges in the SMB sector, GitLab’s second-quarter results were robust. The company reported a 29% increase in revenue, surpassing expectations by $9.1 million, driven by healthy seat growth and strong bookings.
Moreover, GitLab’s non-GAAP operating income and EPS also exceeded forecasts, along with a significant adjusted free cash flow. Ader remains optimistic about GitLab’s prospects, citing the potential for AI advancements, DevSecOps consolidation, and product innovation to sustain over 20% growth and improve margins in the medium term. Despite the departure of CFO Brian Robins, Ader believes these factors position GitLab well for continued success.
Ader covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Nutanix, CommVault Systems, and NetApp. According to TipRanks, Ader has an average return of 6.3% and a 53.30% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released today, Bank of America Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $72.00 price target.
