Guggenheim raises Dynatrace stock price target to $68 on strong growth

Investing.com - Guggenheim raised its price target on Dynatrace Inc. (NYSE:DT) to $68.00 from $66.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Buy rating following the company’s strong quarterly performance. Currently trading at $50.53 with a market cap of $15.25 billion, the software intelligence company has attracted positive attention from analysts, with consensus targets ranging from $55 to $70.

The software intelligence firm posted its best net new annual recurring revenue (NNARR) growth in four quarters, with subscription revenue growth exceeding expectations even after adjusting for a one-time $7 million ODC true-up in the first fiscal quarter. InvestingPro data shows impressive revenue growth of 18.7% and industry-leading gross margins of 81.94%.

Dynatrace maintained its fiscal year 2026 subscription and total revenue guidance at 14-15% constant currency growth, excluding the one-time ODC flow through, as well as its Total (EPA:TTEF) ARR guidance of 13-14% constant currency growth, which Guggenheim attributes to conservatism.

The quarter’s strength was driven by strong customer expansions reflecting demand for consolidation onto Dynatrace for end-to-end observability, according to Guggenheim’s analysis, which expects subscription revenue to ultimately grow 17.5% coupled with high 20% free cash flow margin.

Guggenheim believes early renewals are starting to happen in earnest and should be a material catalyst in the second half of the fiscal year, supported by channel checks, while viewing the ODC accounting adjustment as "just noise" that doesn’t reflect any demand pull-forward from fiscal year 2027. According to InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, Dynatrace appears undervalued at current levels.

These results highlight the company’s strong performance in the quarter.
