Most Popular Narrative: 80% Undervalued

Compared to GitLab’s last close at $30.02, the most followed narrative points to a fair value of $150.00, a very different read on what the stock is worth.

Rumor has it that April 11th is going to be a tragic day in the US, some analysts are stating that Trump will be delivering his worst speech ever. But what does this have to do with Gitlab? As a Cyber Security Specialist, there is a lot more going on throughout our economy and these bearish markets. With cyber attacks growing at a rapid rate, and investors and hedges resorting to using these new tools in our trading, advancing at a faster rate with a higher probability of success than algo trading. While countries such as North Korea are using the same tools to steal millions from our US Government. Now once a favorite place for many, the markets are picking back up that negative name. But where does "GTLB" come into play? Open-source technology is growing at a fast, sophisticated level that the Major 7 can't keep up with. As Microsoft, Tesla, Nvidia all crash from cyber-attacks and bots draining the free cash flow. The Major 7 made a mistake and allowed open-source technology to slowly start to take over these bearish markets, allowing Gitlab to make a stand with their "DevSecOps" system security.
