The company reported revenue of about $164 million for the quarter, matching what analysts expected. Profits came in at $0.27 per share, which was slightly higher than the $0.24 analysts were looking for. The stock rose about 8 percent following the news.

The most important detail for the business was the 53 percent growth in cloud revenue. The company is successfully moving customers from older, on-premise setups to its cloud-hosted platform. It also grew its count of high-value customers, those spending over $1 million annually, by 59 percent compared to last year. This shows the platform is becoming a central piece of technology for the world's largest organizations.

UBS raised its price target from $110 to $120. This change reflects a more optimistic view of the company's value after it shared its most recent quarterly performance.

When a major firm like UBS raises a target that is already above the current stock price, it often signals confidence that the company can maintain its current momentum. The new target sits well above the average analyst estimate of $92.

Raymond James raised its price target for the stock from $80 to $120. This is a substantial 50 percent increase in what the firm believes the shares are worth.

The move comes after the company reported strong growth in its cloud business and a rising number of large enterprise customers. A target this far above the current price suggests the firm sees much more room for the stock to rise as the company scales its software supply chain platform.

The company is expected to report revenue of about 160 million dollars and earnings of 24 cents per share. While JFrog has a history of beating analyst expectations, the focus for long-term owners should be on how much of its growth is coming from its cloud-hosted business rather than older software installed on a customer's own servers.

We are also watching for signs that large customers are spending more on the company's security tools. JFrog's main advantage is that once a company stores its software building blocks there, it is very difficult to switch to a rival. The goal now is to prove it can sell those existing customers more services, like automated security scanning, to increase the value of each account.

Key highlights

• Cloud revenue acceleration: Cloud revenue grew 53% to $87.5 million, significantly outperforming the 42% growth rate seen in previous quarters and now making up 53% of total sales. This shift is vital as it shows the company is successfully moving its customer base toward a recurring cloud model, which is typically more predictable and profitable over time.
• Large customer base expanding: The number of customers spending more than $1 million annually reached 97, a 59% increase from 61 customers a year ago. Landing these massive accounts is a key part of the growth strategy because these big enterprises often become the foundation for steady, long term revenue.
• Higher spending per customer: Net dollar retention, which measures how much more existing customers spend each year, rose to 121% compared to 118% in the prior year. This means the average customer is not only staying with the company but finding enough value to increase their spending by 21% annually.
• Profitability target reached early: Operating margins reached 19.9% this quarter, nearly doubling the 10.4% margin from the same time last year. This shows the business is becoming much more efficient as it grows, reaching the 20% long term goal much faster than many expected.
• Revenue outlook remains steady: Management expects full year revenue to be between $648 million and $652 million, while third quarter sales are projected to fall between $164 million and $166 million. This guidance provides a clear floor for what the company expects to earn as it enters the second half of the year.

Our take: This was an exceptionally strong quarter that showed JFrog is finally hitting its stride with big corporate clients. The 53% jump in cloud revenue and 121% retention rate prove that their security tools are becoming a must have for large companies, which significantly strengthens the long term case for the stock.
