Robert W. Baird Maintains Their Buy Rating on Rapid7 (RPD)


In a report released today, Jonathan Ruykhaver from Robert W. Baird maintained a Buy rating on Rapid7 (RPD). The company’s shares opened today at $63.34, close to its 52-week high of $66.01.

Ruykhaver commented:

“We maintain Outperform rating and increase our price target to $72. Rapid7 posted strong results for the quarter, headlined by a second consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability. The company also posted strong ARR growth and accelerated YoY growth of customer count compared to 1Q19. On a market level, we believe RPD is gaining share in VM and appears poised to continue to expand the reach of its Insight Platform. Though still an early-stage opportunity, we see Rapid7’s InsightIDR as uniquely poised for enterprise market gains.”
