Key Takeaways

  • Launch of the cloud-based risk operations center positions Qua
  • The analysts have a consensus price target of $148.72 for Qualys based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $175.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $115.0.
  • In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2027, revenues will be $739.2 million, earnings will come to $184.6 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 35.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.9%.
  • Given the current share price of $154.56, the analyst's price target of $148.72 is 3.9% lower. The relatively low difference between the current share price and the analyst consensus price target indicates that they believe on average, the company is fairly priced.
  • We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
