Truist maintains Atlassian stock Buy rating, $300 target

On Tuesday, Truist Securities expressed continued confidence in Atlassian Corporation (NASDAQ:TEAM), currently trading at $275.95 with a market capitalization of $71.3 billion, reiterating a Buy rating and maintaining a $300.00 price target. Truist’s stance comes ahead of Atlassian’s scheduled release of its second-quarter fiscal year 2025 earnings on Thursday, January 30, after the market closes. According to InvestingPro data, analyst price targets for the stock range from $220 to $420.

Truist’s analysts highlighted Atlassian’s potential for growth, noting recent price increases on datacenter products that may spur enterprise cloud migrations. The company’s impressive 81.55% gross profit margin and 23.31% revenue growth over the last twelve months support this optimistic outlook. The firm is keenly anticipating insights from the upcoming earnings call regarding this shift. Additionally, optimism surrounds Atlassian’s product Rovo, as the company expands its enterprise sales force and explores cross-selling opportunities, which could include bundling strategies.

The appointment of Brian Duffy as the new Chief Revenue Officer on January 1, following Kevin Egan’s departure, is seen as a positive move for Atlassian. Analysts at Truist believe that Atlassian currently has the most favorable near-term business model setup among the companies in their infrastructure coverage.

Truist’s analysts also point out that Atlassian has incorporated a conservative approach to their top-line outlook for the year, not relying on a server end-of-life event for comparison. This conservative estimate is coupled with a tailwind from price increases announced in October for Cloud services and in January for Datacenter products.

In the first quarter, Atlassian achieved a record amount of cloud revenue, which is considered a significant milestone. The price increases, particularly for enterprise products, are expected to provide a double-digit tailwind over the next 12 months, in contrast to the previous years’ 5% increases. Truist anticipates that these factors may indicate potential upside for Atlassian’s performance throughout the remainder of the year, with the timing of cloud revenue additions playing a crucial role in the company’s financial model.
