What Wall Street Has Been Saying
đ Bullish Takeaways
-
Piper Sandler highlights Q4 revenue that was 2% above the midpoint and FY26 revenue guidance at 15% year over year, above a 14% consensus, which they see as consistent with solid upmarket execution and product momentum.
-
KeyBanc points to six consecutive quarters of ARR growth acceleration, from a low of 8.2% to 17.3% exiting 2025. They describe Amplitude as an interesting test case for investors, even as they trim their target from US$16 to US$14.
-
UBS and Morgan Stanley both retain positive ratings while reducing targets. This indicates that, despite estimate resets, they still see an investment case tied to revenue growth and the product analytics niche.
đ» Bearish Takeaways
-
BofA, Citi, Baird, UBS, Morgan Stanley, KeyBanc and Piper Sandler have all lowered price targets at various points. Collectively, this reflects more conservative assumptions embedded in models.
-
KeyBanc calls out margin levels and expansion as âstubbornly lowâ and expects this to remain the case for at least another year, which some investors may view as a constraint on valuation.
