  • Analysts initiated coverage on Amplitude Inc AMPL, with price targets implying upsides up to 13%.
  • KeyBanc analyst Michael Turits initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $78 PT, implying a 13% upside. 
  • The company is "riding the wave of digital transformation" accelerated by COVID, Turits notes.
  •  The analyst sees Amplitude as "strongly positioned amid the ongoing wave" of front office digital transformation and adoption of product-led growth models.
  • UBS analyst Taylor McGinnis initiated coverage with a Buy rating and $78 PT. 
  • The company is the clear leader in an early-stage and predominately greenfield market it refers to as digital optimization, McGinnis notes. 
  • The analyst says the space "appears to be on the brink of an inflection" given the acceleration in engagement and use of websites/apps amid the pandemic. 
  • Amplitude seems well-positioned to capitalize "on an opportunity with plenty of runway ahead," says McGinnis.
  • BofA analyst Koji Ikeda initiated coverage with a Neutral rating and a $75 PT, implying an 8.8% upside. 
  • The company is a "leader" in the digital optimization opportunity as organizations leverage its platform to understand how consumers use digital products to drive better customer experiences, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

  • Morgan Stanley analyst Elizabeth Elliott initiated coverage with an Equal Weight rating and $72 PT, suggesting a 4.4% upside. 
  • With solutions built to accelerate digital product development, Amplitude looks to pioneer a potential $37 billion digital optimization market, Elliott notes.

  • The company's "best-in-class" software measures millions of input signals real-time, empowering customers to deliver digital products with "that extra push" of higher customer satisfaction and revenue, Oliver notes. 
  • However, with the stock up 90% from the direct-listing and a valuation more significant than 30 times 2022 revenue estimates, the analyst starts Amplitude with a Neutral rating.
