BTIG has maintained its Buy rating on CyberArk Software (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:CYBR) with a steady price target of $296.00. The firm's positive outlook is reinforced ahead of the company's second-quarter earnings report, which is scheduled to be released before the market opens on Thursday, August 8.
The endorsement comes after BTIG conducted field checks with five contacts knowledgeable about the identity market and CyberArk's positioning within it. The feedback from these checks was uniformly positive, indicating that demand trends are in line with those observed in the first quarter.
Notably, there was a sense of increased optimism surrounding CyberArk's Secrets Management product, especially when compared to its competitor HashiCorp (NASDAQ:HCP), which BTIG rates as Neutral.
Additionally, the forthcoming acquisition of Venafi by CyberArk has been met with encouraging reactions from the market. This development, along with the positive demand trends, has led BTIG to have a greater degree of confidence in CyberArk's forecasts.
The firm anticipates that CyberArk could slightly surpass the street's estimates, which predict a 31% growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for the second quarter.
CyberArk, a leading firm in identity security, specializes in privileged access management—a critical area of cybersecurity. The company's focus on innovation and expansion, as evidenced by its product development and strategic acquisitions, has positioned it favorably in the eyes of analysts and investors alike.
