Jonathan Ho has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Qualys’s solid performance and strategic positioning in the cyber risk management market. The company reported a strong quarter, surpassing revenue and earnings expectations, which indicates robust operational execution. Despite a sequential decline in deferred revenue, the calculated billings growth reached the upper end of expectations at 8%, showcasing resilience in their business model.
Qualys’s consolidated platform vision and its focus on pre-breach cyber risk management have resonated well with customers, driving a stronger sales funnel and pipeline for their mROC solution. The unique capability of mROC to integrate with other solutions reduces selling friction, potentially expanding its market reach. Additionally, achieving FedRAMP High certification opens new opportunities with the U.S. federal government, and the introduction of AI-oriented solutions further strengthens their product offering. These strategic initiatives position Qualys favorably for future growth, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $144.00 price target.
