On Friday, RBC Capital Markets adjusted its outlook on Elastic NV (NYSE:ESTC), a search company specialized in self-managed and SaaS offerings. The firm raised the price target to $130.00 from the previous $110.00, while reiterating an Outperform rating on the stock. The revision comes in response to the company's recent quarterly performance, which showed improvements over the last quarter.
Elastic NV's management conveyed a positive tone during the announcement of the results, which were marked by widespread strength. The positive impact of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 go-to-market (GTM) changes was noted, and while forward expectations were moderated, the overall sentiment was optimistic.
The company's performance was bolstered by several factors, including customer commitments, particularly to its GenAI product, robust enterprise consumption trends, increased consolidation onto Elastic's platform, and an opportunity for legacy system displacement.
The financial guidance for fiscal year 2025 has been revised upward, but RBC Capital views this guidance as conservative, suggesting that there is room for estimates to grow as the company moves into fiscal year 2026. The analyst firm believes that the guidance leaves potential for performance to exceed expectations.
Additionally, Elastic NV announced a transition in its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) position. The change in CFO is part of the company's latest developments as it continues to execute its business strategy and capitalize on market opportunities.
RBC Capital's increased price target reflects confidence in Elastic NV's strategic initiatives and the potential for continued growth. The analyst firm maintains its Outperform rating, signaling a positive outlook for the company's stock performance in the market.
