September looms as a risk month for stocks, Yardeni says
Investing.com - Roth/MKM has reiterated its Buy rating and $26.00 price target on SentinelOne Inc (NYSE:S) following the cybersecurity company’s latest quarterly results. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, while analysts’ targets range from $18 to $30 per share. The stock currently shows potential upside based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis.
The company reported a record Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) beat, described by Roth/MKM as possibly the largest ever for SentinelOne , while revenues were in line with expectations. The company’s revenue growth remains robust at 25.4% year-over-year, with a healthy gross profit margin of 75%.
SentinelOne explained that the quarter was back-end loaded and service revenues were slightly lower than anticipated, which is why the strong ARR performance did not translate into a revenue beat.
The company raised its full-year revenue guidance by approximately $2 million, a modest increase that has prompted some investor questions about why the substantial ARR beat did not lead to a more significant revision in revenue guidance.
SentinelOne indicated it is taking a prudent approach to its guidance while confirming it has incorporated the ARR beat into its forecasts.
