PagerDuty price target lowered to $48 from $59 at RBC Capital
On December 6, 2021, RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg lowered the firm’s price target on PD stock to $48 from $59 but keeps an Outperform rating on the shares ahead of its results. The company should post “slight upside” to Q3 estimates amid continued momentum following a strong Q2 and its FY22 guidance should move higher given the potential for above 30% revenue growth exiting the year in a normalizing environment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Hedberg adds however that his reduced price target on PagerDuty reflects multiple contraction among its peers.
