TD Cowen downgraded the stock from a buy to a hold on Tuesday. While the firm did not set a new price target, the move suggests a more cautious stance on the company's ability to grow at its current pace. Morgan Stanley also set a target of $105 this week, bringing the average across all analysts to about $110.
This shift comes just days before the company reports its latest financial results. For a business that has been spending heavily to move beyond simple project tracking into more complex tools for sales and developers, a downgrade from a major firm can signal concerns that this expansion is becoming more expensive or taking longer than expected to pay off.
