Derrick Wood, an analyst from TD Cowen, maintained the Buy rating on Braze (BRZE – Research Report). The associated price target is $47.00.
Derrick Wood has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Braze’s strong performance and strategic initiatives.

Despite some macroeconomic uncertainties, Braze’s management has provided an optimistic outlook with in-line revenue guidance and an operational margin forecast that exceeds market expectations. These factors, combined with the company’s solid positioning for long-term growth, underpin Derrick Wood’s decision to maintain a Buy rating and raise the price target to $47.
