Kingsley Crane has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight GitLab’s strong market position and potential for future growth. GitLab has demonstrated significant revenue growth, with a 29% year-over-year increase, which exceeded expectations. This growth is supported by the company’s leadership in the DevSecOps platform space, where it continues to be a key player.
Additionally, the potential acquisition by Datadog could create a powerful combination, enhancing GitLab’s capabilities with Datadog’s infrastructure and application observability tools. Despite some uncertainties, such as the recent departure of GitLab’s CFO, the company’s strategic moves, including the rollout of the Duo Agent Platform, are expected to diversify revenue streams and mitigate risks associated with seat-based growth. These factors, combined with GitLab’s strong performance and strategic positioning, underpin Crane’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating.
