Guidance

Based on the accelerating business performance, Monday.com forecasts fourth-quarter revenue to be between $87 million and $88 million, against the consensus estimate of $77.15 million.

Additionally, the FY21 revenue is expected to be in the range of $300 million to $301 million, against the consensus estimate of $282.2 million.

Analysts’ View

Impressed with MNDY’s massive Q3 beat, analyst Bhavan Suri of William Blair said, “Monday’s results were fundamentally strong across the board as the company continues to execute. In our view, the 21% pullback in the stock is largely due to the stock run heading into the print (Monday was up over 15% the day before releasing earnings) and an early share lock-up expiration that will take place on November 12. As neither of these factors are related to the underlying fundamentals of the business, we view the pullback as a good buying opportunity.”

Suri has a Buy rating on the stock and sees plenty of potential growth drivers ahead. The analyst is encouraged by the company’s solid Q3 print and execution, and believes Monday.com is well-positioned for further upmarket traction, potential pricing power, user expansion with existing customers, and penetration of additional use-cases (in R&D, CRM, and others).

Overall, the stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 9 Buys, 1 Hold, and 1 Sell. The average Monday.com price target of $369.63 implies 5.36% upside potential to current levels. Shares have gained 96.1% over the past six months.
