These are top 10 stocks traded on the Robinhood UK platform in July
On Wednesday, Jefferies analysts raised the price target for Asana stock to $17 from $15, while maintaining a Hold rating. The adjustment comes after Asana’s first quarter results exceeded the high-end of guidance and the company secured a record $100 million three-year deal. The stock has shown strong momentum, delivering a 39.71% return over the past year, with current analyst targets ranging from $10 to $23. However, the renewal was at a lower annual contract value after being delayed beyond the first quarter.
The analysts noted that Asana is experiencing longer sales cycles with increased scrutiny. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 89.34% and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, despite current market challenges. The company also lowered the low end of its fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance by $7 million to account for potential macroeconomic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Asana’s AI Studio is gaining momentum, although significant revenue contributions from this initiative are not expected until fiscal year 2027. In terms of valuation, Asana trades at a growth-adjusted calendar year 2026 enterprise value-to-sales ratio of 0.58x, compared to Monday.com’s 0.42x.
Jefferies analysts emphasized the need to maintain a Hold rating on Asana, while adjusting the price target to reflect current market conditions and emerging trends within the company.
