U.S. stocks edge higher; solid earnings season continues
Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright raised its price target on Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ) to $2.50 from $1.50 on Monday while maintaining a Neutral rating on the cybersecurity company’s stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears fairly valued at current levels, with analyst targets ranging from $1.50 to $11.00.
The firm cited Intrusion’s four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth through Q1 2025, despite challenges from losing a large Shield contract. InvestingPro data confirms this trend, showing 18.07% revenue growth in the last twelve months. These challenging growth comparisons should anniversary this quarter, potentially creating more favorable growth metrics beginning in the second half of 2025.
H.C. Wainwright noted that Intrusion’s Shield product is expected to become available on the AWS marketplace soon, which could significantly accelerate revenue growth later this year. The company maintains an impressive 75.88% gross margin alongside a streamlined operating cost structure of $12.4 million in 2025, down from $24.2 million in 2021.
The research firm highlighted Intrusion’s improved balance sheet with $10.7 million in available cash as of Q1 2025, which removes previous balance sheet risks and provides flexibility to pursue market opportunities. The company is expected to increase marketing investment in Intrusion Shield, its benchmark cybersecurity product.
Despite the more favorable outlook and higher price target, H.C. Wainwright maintained its Neutral rating on Intrusion shares, indicating it would consider a more constructive stance if the company demonstrates more substantial revenue growth in the second half of 2025.

Ascendiant Capital’s analyst Edward Woo has raised Intrusion’s stock target to $11, maintaining a Buy rating due to the company’s strong revenue growth and potential for further expansion.
