DA Davidson raises Asana stock price target to $17 from $12

On Wednesday, DA Davidson analysts increased the price target for Asana stock to $17 from the previous $12, while keeping a Neutral rating. Currently trading at $19, the stock sits between analysts’ targets ranging from $10 to $23. This adjustment follows Asana’s first-quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings report, which revealed revenue surpassing expectations. Despite this, the company’s more cautious revenue guidance and declining customer retention led to a drop in shares after hours.

Management at Asana expressed optimism about the growth potential from their AI Studio, citing a promising pipeline. The company’s margins have continued to improve, with InvestingPro data showing an impressive gross profit margin of 89.34%, and their partner go-to-market strategy is gaining traction, according to the analyst’s comments.

Asana is scheduled to participate in DA Davidson’s Technology Conference in Nashville, taking place from June 9 to June 11. The event will feature over 70 companies, providing a platform for Asana to showcase its strategies and innovations.

The market response to Asana’s earnings and guidance highlights the challenges the company faces in balancing growth with customer retention. While the stock experienced a decline, the raised price target indicates confidence in Asana’s future prospects.

Investors and analysts will be closely monitoring Asana’s performance and developments, particularly in relation to AI Studio and its contribution to the company’s growth trajectory. The stock has shown strong momentum with a 39.71% return over the past year.
