-- Gitlab (GTLB) shares will be range-bound with limited near-term upside to estimates due to multiple headwinds, RBC Capital Markets said in a Monday research report.
Challenges include difficult premium-price increase compares, first-order sales transition risks, rising corporate layoffs, geopolitical volatility, and competitor concerns, the analysts said.
While the long-term opportunity as a DeVSecOps platform is lucrative and the Duo Agent platform could serve as a medium-term catalyst, it does not contribute to short-term results, according to the report.
RBC downgraded the stock to sector perform from outperform and cut its price target to $25 per share from $33.
