On May 24, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Adam Borg initiated a Hold rating on the stock with a price target of $26 (10.4% upside potential).
According to Borg, the stock has a number of drivers to push revenue growth over the next few years. However, the analyst believes the company will not go for any significant expansions due to increasing competition and insider overhang.
The stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 4 Buys and 4 Holds. The average Ping Identity analyst price target of $31.21 implies 32.5% upside potential from current levels. Shares have declined 30.7% over the past year.
