Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Fortinet Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target price from $119 to $148 on a forward P/E of 42x our 2027 EPS projection of $3.40, below its three-year average. We increase our 2026 EPS projection to $3.15 from $3.13 and our 2027 EPS forecast to $3.45 from $3.40. We note rising enterprise AI tool consumption and agentic use from customers of software providers in earnings reports over the past month, signaling a shift from tool experimentation to deployment in production environments. This is expected to drive greater interest in new security tools to keep pace with rapid technology evolutions. We believe FTNT will be a beneficiary of cybersecurity spending as customers choose to consolidate with large vendors for reduced complexity when they expand their AI security capabilities. We also anticipate continued momentum with its FortiSASE and SecOps solutions from higher network traffic and the need for better visibility as attack surfaces expand.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Mongodb, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our price target by $4 to $439, 71x our FY 27 (Jan.) EPS view. We raise our FY 27 EPS estimate by $0.27 to $6.18 and our FY 28 view by $0.14 to $7.39. MDB's Q1 came in modestly better than expected, with another strong bookings quarter driving RPO growth up by an impressive 88% Y/Y to $1.46B. AI volumes continue to accelerate but remain a small part of the overall business, with core enterprise workloads delivering the beat and modest guidance raise (MDB now expects 24% sales growth vs. a prior 22% view). We expect 2026 to be a significant scaling year for agentic workloads, and we continue to think investors are underestimating MDB's potential to see growth accelerate as it gains traction with AI natives and existing Fortune 500 customers evolve their AI offerings. We think Q1's results were a decent print that did enough to convince investors that FY 26's deceleration relates more to conservatism than AI competition/existentialism that has rocked the software space this year.
