TENB Stock Forecast & Price Target

Tenable Holdings reported strong financial performance with a total revenue of $252.4 million, reflecting an 11% year-over-year growth and surpassing consensus expectations. The company's contract-based revenue (CCB) also showcased robust results, growing 8% year-over-year to $267.5 million, further indicating the effective expansion of its customer base and solutions. Moreover, the long-term remaining performance obligations (RPO) soared by 41% year-over-year, suggesting a healthy demand for Tenable's offerings and a solid foundation for future revenue growth.

Tenable Holdings is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a decline in Net Revenue Retention (NRR), which has dropped to 106% and may decline further in Q4, potentially impacting future revenue growth. The company has also experienced decreasing Gross Margins since its IPO due to increased investment in cloud products and rising third-party infrastructure costs, which are expected to contribute to sluggish growth in Customer Contracted Bookings (CCB). Additionally, the transition to annual billing for customers will reduce the flow of funds from long-term deferred revenue, further complicating financial projections and raising concerns about the company's ability to meet expected growth targets.
