Meanwhile, a similar win showed up in revenue figures, as PagerDuty posted $101 million in revenue. That was not only up in a big way over this time last year—28.7% up, in fact—but also beat the analyst projections that looked for $98.99 million in revenue. Customer growth figures were downright impressive. Customers with annual recurring revenue of over $100,000 were up from 594 this time last year to 752 this year. Meanwhile, $1 million customers were up from 43 to 50. A much smaller number, but that’s at least $7 million more per year than it had.

Overall, analyst consensus calls PagerDuty a Strong Buy by a factor of five Buy recommendations to just one Hold. Better yet, PagerDuty stock offers 8.76% upside potential thanks to its average price target of $34.75.
