Keith Weiss has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Atlassian’s strong position in the market. Despite a significant drop in share price year-to-date, the company is poised for growth with a stable IT demand environment and increasing business momentum. The valuation appears attractive, especially when considering the conservative consensus estimates and the company’s strong AI positioning, which many investors have underestimated.
Weiss believes that concerns about the impact of generative AI on Atlassian are overstated. Instead of being negatively affected, Atlassian is likely to benefit from the AI wave, as it enhances the software development lifecycle rather than just individual productivity. This, coupled with Atlassian’s traction in IT service management and other areas, supports the expectation of over 20% year-over-year revenue growth in the upcoming quarter, making the stock an appealing buy.
In another report released on October 10, Bernstein also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $296.00 price target.
