Amplitude (AMPL – Research Report), the Technology sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst yesterday. Analyst Robert Oliver from Robert W. Baird maintained a Hold rating on the stock and has a $12.00 price target.
Robert Oliver has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a cautious approach to Amplitude’s stock. The company has reported fourth-quarter earnings that aligned with market expectations and has implemented numerous changes in its strategy, including adjustments to its go-to-market approach, product enhancements, and team restructuring. These efforts show promise for potential improvement in the business’s performance by mid-year. However, there’s a sizable portion of client contracts up for renewal in the second quarter, which, alongside the current lack of clear business forecasting, may create uncertainty and pressure on the stock’s performance.
Despite these challenges, Amplitude has shown some positive developments, such as the introduction of Amplitude Plus, a lower-cost self-service option that is exceeding initial expectations without noticeably affecting the existing product line. The company has also launched Session Replay, which has received favorable responses from customers. Nonetheless, the guidance provided for the upcoming fiscal year indicates slower than expected revenue growth and profits that fall short of consensus estimates, with anticipated ongoing market challenges and churn that could neutralize gains from new business in the first half of 2024. These factors contribute to the rationale behind the Hold rating, reflecting a balance between the potential for operational improvements and the risks associated with near-term uncertainties.
AMPL’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $11.600 to $11.800, which is a 1.72% increase.
