Triggered by the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance on interest rates, shares of technology companies have been facing sell-off in 2022 and software stocks have been swept alongside with it, with share price down on average 17% over the last month. JFrog is down 14.4% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $39.6, compared to share price of $21.5.

One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy.

This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.
