Axon Enterprise stock rating reiterated by TD Cowen, citing strong growth

Investing.com - TD Cowen has reiterated a Buy rating on Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ:AXON) with a price target of $925.00, following the company’s third-quarter results. This target sits below the analyst high target of $1000 but well above InvestingPro’s Fair Value estimate, suggesting the stock may be overvalued despite its strong performance.

The company reported revenue growth of 31% in the third quarter, exceeding analyst expectations of 29.5%, though TD Cowen noted this represented a smaller beat compared to previous trends due to timing issues and analyst mismodeling. This performance aligns with Axon’s impressive 32.41% revenue growth over the last twelve months and its 5-year revenue CAGR of 31%.

Axon Enterprise raised its full-year guidance by $50 million at the midpoint, compared to a $40 million increase in the previous quarter, while its fourth-quarter guidance of 31% growth surpassed Street expectations of 30%.

Management continues to expect full-year bookings growth in the high-30% range, with the company’s AI Era plan remaining strong and expected to represent more than 10% of full-year Software and Light (S&L) bookings.

TD Cowen also expressed approval of Axon’s acquisition and creation of Axon 911, recommending investors add to their positions in the stock. With a current ratio of 2.95, Axon holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, providing financial flexibility for such strategic acquisitions.
