Citi analyst Tyler Radke raised the PT to $50 from $48, implying an 8.2% Upside based on the last close price of $46.21, and reiterated a Neutral.
However, Radke believes Progress Software's valuation discount relative to peers is fair given its reliance on acquisitions for growth and increasing macro-level risk.
Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron raised the PT to $60 from $54, suggesting a 29.8% Upside based on the last close price, and maintained an Outperform.
Progress delivered a strong August quarter, with EPS and revenue exceeding consensus estimates as the company benefited from earlier than anticipated renewals and strong demand for its products, Kidron noted.
