In a report released yesterday, Wamsi Mohan from Bank of America Securities reiterated a Sell rating on DigitalOcean Holdings (DOCN – Research Report), with a price target of $31.00.
Wamsi Mohan has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting DigitalOcean Holdings. Despite the company’s ambitious long-term revenue growth targets, there are concerns about the sustainability of these projections in the current macroeconomic environment. The anticipated growth heavily relies on customer acquisition, with minimal expected contribution from customer expansion, which raises questions about the robustness of their growth strategy.
Furthermore, the increased capital expenditures and investments in artificial intelligence could exert pressure on free cash flow in the near term. While DigitalOcean’s offerings are seen as cost-effective and scalable compared to competitors, the potential pullback in small and medium-sized business spending adds to the uncertainty. These factors collectively contribute to the cautious outlook and the reiteration of the Underperform rating.
According to TipRanks, Mohan is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 7.3% and a 52.02% success rate. Mohan covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Apple, Western Digital, and Amphenol.
