Triggered by the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance on interest rates, shares of technology companies have been facing sell-off in 2022, and while some of the vertical software stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 8.09% over the last month. PTC is down 1.02% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $162.1, compared to share price of $139.4.
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.
