Investing.com - BofA Securities maintained its Buy rating and $72.00 price target on GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:GTLB), a $7.75 billion market cap DevSecOps platform vendor, following its second-quarter fiscal 2026 results. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for the stock range from $46 to $76, suggesting potential upside.
GitLab reported strong quarterly performance that exceeded both BofA’s and Wall Street’s expectations. The company’s subscription revenue growth accelerated to 30.3% year-over-year, up from 28.6% in the previous quarter, maintaining its impressive 88.64% gross profit margin. The company’s robust financial position is reflected in its healthy current ratio of 2.48x.
Despite the positive results, GitLab only reiterated its fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance rather than raising it, which may raise questions among investors about whether the company is being conservative or facing demand challenges.
BofA believes the unchanged guidance reflects conservatism rather than underlying problems, particularly considering GitLab’s ongoing executive changes, including a CFO transition and new appointments for CIO, CPO, and CMO positions.
The investment firm continues to view GitLab as a long-term market share gainer in the DevSecOps category and considers any share price weakness as "a particularly attractive opportunity" for investors, particularly given the company’s strong balance sheet with more cash than debt and its track record of maintaining high profit margins.
In other recent news, GitLab Inc. reported a strong performance in its second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2026.

These results were met with a positive market reaction, reflecting investor confidence in GitLab’s performance and outlook. Additionally, Wolfe Research adjusted its price target for GitLab, lowering it to $52 from $55 while maintaining an Outperform rating. Wolfe Research highlighted that GitLab’s stock trades at a discount compared to its peers, with a valuation of approximately 5.6 times the enterprise value to calendar year 2026 base case revenue. These developments indicate a mix of strong financial results and cautious optimism from analysts regarding the company’s valuation.
