Wall Street closes at a record for the first time since end of January
Investing.com - Truist Securities lowered its price target on Dynatrace Inc. (NYSE:DT) shares to $45 from $55 on Tuesday while keeping a Buy rating on the stock. The stock has declined roughly 10% over the past week and is down 30% over six months, currently trading at $34.85—well below its 52-week high of $57.55. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued at current levels, with shares trading significantly below the platform’s Fair Value estimate.
The firm expects Dynatrace to beat consensus estimates for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended March 31. Supporting this optimistic view, InvestingPro data shows that 30 analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period. Truist noted that the company’s DPS product introduction has been a positive development, though many metrics reflect underlying activity rather than immediate financial results. The company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 82% while delivering revenue growth of 18%.
Truist estimates that DPS customers spend approximately 36% more than average Dynatrace customers, show higher renewal rates, and adopt nearly twice as many products. The firm said customers who exceed committed spend have recently shown a mix of on-demand consumption and early-renewal activity, creating potential volatility between subscription revenue and annual recurring revenue.
Management has indicated that consumption continues to grow over 20% throughout the year. Due to ratable revenue recognition and backend-loaded contract renewals, Truist expects this growth to appear most prominently in fourth-quarter revenue and annual recurring revenue.
Truist said fiscal 2027 represents the year when positive consumption trends from the improved procurement model could show up more clearly in financial results. The firm believes larger cohorts ramping on DPS contracts and maturing go-to-market initiatives could drive upside.
