Maintaining Buy Rating on JFrog Amid Solid Performance and Strong Market Positioning

Bank of America Securities analyst Koji Ikeda has reiterated their bullish stance on FROG stock, giving a Buy rating today.

Koji Ikeda has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to JFrog’s performance and market positioning. Despite cloud revenue growth decelerating to 47% year over year, which may not have met very high expectations, this is not seen as a negative inflection point in the business. The enterprise DevSecOps platform, especially its binary repository offering, remains industry-leading. The solid first-quarter results back the company’s ability to meet its long-term targets, which supports the Buy recommendation and a price objective of $54.
Additionally, management’s high visibility into Cloud commitments, which account for a significant portion of revenue, instills confidence in sustaining mid-40s growth into 2024. The minimal risk from small and medium businesses (SMB) and the potential for growth overages later in the year—similar to the trends observed in 2023—further solidify this outlook. JFrog also appears well-positioned to gain market share from the broader enterprise shift to cloud-based systems, as evidenced by a large financial company significantly expanding its use of JFrog’s services. These factors collectively contribute to Ikeda’s positive stance on JFrog’s stock.

Ikeda covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Gitlab, Informatica, and Enfusion. According to TipRanks, Ikeda has an average return of 14.6% and a 55.99% success rate on recommended stocks.
