SentinelOne initiated with a Buy at Guggenheim

Guggenheim analyst Raymond McDonough initiated coverage of SentinelOne with a Buy rating and $18 price target as the firm expands its coverage of the Cybersecurity sector. Cybersecurity, in aggregate, has traded at a discount to broader Software since October 2022, but the firm does not think now is the time to start getting more constructive given the view that 2023 estimates appear at risk as "security has proven not to be immune to macroeconomic pressures." SentinelOne has "followed a proven playbook and consolidated functionality in adjacent areas," the analyst tells investors.
