PagerDuty Inc shares fell by 18.71% during regular trading, despite the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 both showing gains of approximately 0.30% and 0.32%, respectively.
The decline follows PagerDuty's recent earnings report, which revealed a quarterly earnings of $0.33 per share, exceeding analyst expectations but accompanied by a mixed revenue outlook. The company generated revenues of $124.55 million, slightly below consensus estimates, raising concerns about future performance.
In the broader market context, while many stocks experienced gains, PagerDuty's significant drop highlights specific challenges within the company, particularly in light of its lowered revenue outlook and the overall competitive landscape in the software industry.

Truist lowered the firm's price target on PagerDuty to $16 from $20 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Over the past year, a clear split has emerged between AI winners and losers, with seat-based business models down an average of 34% while other companies gained 24%, the analyst tells investors in a research note. This bifurcated sentiment is expected to continue driving a valuation gap in 2026, though some of last year's underperformers may rebound, the firm says.
