Analyst Optimism for GitLab
KeyBanc Capital Markets views GitLab as a strong player in the DevSecOps arena, labeling it as “the broadest independent DevSecOps platform.” The market potential for GitLab is estimated to be well above $120 billion, leaving ample room for multiple companies to thrive in this space.
Insights from the Analyst
Analyst Jason Celino, in reaffirming an Overweight rating and setting a price target of $70, highlighted GitLab’s significant position amidst the growing switch to DevOps platforms. With organizations expected to transition to DevOps at a rapid pace, GitLab stands to benefit as a comprehensive DevSecOps platform covering all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
Celino also noted GitLab’s advantage in the Gen AI domain. As tools in the developer space enhance code generation speed, GitLab’s core offerings are in high demand. Additionally, the introduction of GitLab Duo, a gen AI add-on, opens new avenues for revenue growth and expansion into non-technical user segments.
Embracing Change and Growth Potential
Even with a projected sustained growth rate in the mid-20% range, Celino sees a potential for GitLab to achieve growth rates surpassing 30% in the fiscal years 2025 and 2026, signaling promising prospects for investors.
