CyberArk stock rating reiterated at Overweight by Cantor Fitzgerald

Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has reiterated its Overweight rating and $420.00 price target on CyberArk Software (NASDAQ:CYBR), maintaining its positive outlook on the cybersecurity firm. The company, currently valued at $19.39 billion, has demonstrated strong momentum with a 15.74% year-to-date return, though InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is trading above its Fair Value.

The research firm acknowledged CyberArk’s efforts to position itself as a broader identity security platform, though it noted challenges in entering the enterprise Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) market currently dominated by SailPoint and Saviynt. The company’s impressive 77.91% gross margin and 35.12% revenue growth demonstrate its strong market position.

Cantor Fitzgerald highlighted CyberArk’s recent acquisition of Zilla, describing it as a modern IGA solution focused on cloud-native identity governance, but indicated that market checks show CyberArk has not yet made significant inroads in the enterprise segment.
