Kidron commented:

“We’re initiating coverage of Outperform rating and a $50 PT. Smartsheet offers a modern, cloud-based work execution platform empowering business-line users to design and execute workflow processes with no coding and minimal/no IT involvement. We believe Smartsheet: (1) will benefit from favorable secular trends (enterprise digitization, growth in data volume/velocity/variety, need to improve workforce productivity); (2) can gain share within a large and growing workflow/collaboration TAM; and (3) will continue to successfully execute on its evolving, land-and-expand model, adding new customers/users, driving deeper penetration into existing customers (up-selling, new users/use cases), and sustaining robust net retention (134% in FY4Q19). Our proprietary analysis of Smartsheet’s net retention outlook suggests ~$45-50M of upside to consensus in FY21.”
