What Are Wall Street Analysts Saying?

Market data records a busy two months. Piper Sandler initiated coverage with an Overweight rating on 28 September 2026 and a $300 target, down from a $338 target. Guggenheim reiterated a Buy rating with a $283 target and BTIG reiterated Buy with $300. Goldman Sachs upgraded the shares from Hold to Outperform with a $265 target on 17 September, while Royal Bank of Canada reiterated Outperform at $305. Cantor Fitzgerald initiated at Neutral with a $215 target on 14 September. Argus held a $355 target, Berenberg Bank set $333 and Rosenblatt kept $330.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

Analysts' optimism rests on forecast growth. The second data set shows fiscal 2026 revenue of $7.21 billion, up 17.5%, and consensus estimates for fiscal 2027 of $8.32 billion in revenue and $12.61 in non-GAAP earnings per share. Market data reports quarterly earnings per share of $3.30 against $3.12 expected, revenue growth of 16.1% and full-year guidance of $12.52 to $12.60. Continued subscription growth and cost discipline could narrow the gap between the share price and the average target of about $308.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The consensus is sensitive to a few high targets. The average of $316.84 includes a $456 target dated 26 March 2026, which looks out of line with the $215 to $355 range of recent named targets, whose average is close to $295. Several recent actions involved cuts or neutral ratings, and Cantor Fitzgerald's $215 target is below the share price. Competitive pressure in design software, changes in construction and manufacturing demand, and the effect of artificial intelligence on pricing could all weigh on results and on analysts' forecasts.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Revenue growth, margins and any revision to the fiscal 2027 outlook will be central. Items to watch include whether more brokers follow Goldman Sachs in upgrading, or Cantor Fitzgerald in taking a more cautious stance.
