Mike Cikos has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for Confluent’s stock. The company’s strong performance in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2024, with results that exceeded expectations, is a key reason for this rating. Furthermore, the guidance for the calendar year 2025 aligns with expectations, providing stability in the face of previously expressed concerns.
Another factor contributing to the Buy rating is the projected growth in Confluent Cloud revenue, which appears manageable and promising. The increase in the DSP segment, which grew significantly within the year, also signals an upward trajectory. Additionally, the expanded partnership with Databricks is seen as reclaiming control of the narrative, especially amid acquisition rumors involving competitors, further solidifying the favorable outlook for Confluent.
According to TipRanks, Cikos is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 15.3% and a 61.66% success rate. Cikos covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Okta, Tenable Holdings, and Dynatrace.
