Shares of Elastic N.V. (ESTC) fell sharply today, hitting a 20-day low after a disappointing market reaction to its quarterly earnings report. Despite beating earnings estimates and raising its full-year revenue outlook, the stock plummeted nearly 13% in pre-market trading, reflecting investor concerns over a slowdown in subscription revenue growth. Analysts at Wedbush maintained an Outperform rating but lowered the price target from $110 to $90, citing worries about the company's sales-led subscription performance. The mixed results have left investors confused, overshadowing the positive revenue growth driven by its AI initiatives.
Analyst Views on ESTC
Wall Street analysts forecast ESTC stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for ESTC is 101.14 USD with a low forecast of 75.00 USD and a high forecast of 130.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
