The fears around raising interest rates have been putting pressure on tech stocks, and while some of the sales and marketing software stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 4.45% over the last month. Shopify is down 8.52% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $57.9, compared to share price of $47.
One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. 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.
