$145 → $130
2025-03-31
Reason
Jefferies lowered the firm's price target on Qualys to $130 from $145 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm is lowering price targets across its U.S. software coverage to account for recent multiple compression amid early signs of softening macro factors impacting deal decisions across tech. The firm now believes "we may have another 'mullet' year in software" with first half chop followed by second half flow, the analyst tells investors. While not lowering estimates "yet" as the firm awaits Q1 checks and noting that recent guidance levels were set for no material improvement, the firm says ongoing uncertainty means "investors are waiting on the sidelines to assess the impact."

The company delivered "a strong Q3," but given tepid Q4 pipeline commentary, slowing VM market growth and difficult competitive dynamics, the firm still sees risk to FY25 estimates, the analyst tells investors.
