Another analyst hits the brakes
monday.com is getting the Wall Street version of a side-eye. Piper Sandler downgraded the stock from Overweight to Hold and set an $85 price target, which is still above the last close but not exactly the kind of note that gets traders doing cartwheels.
The stock’s already on thin ice
This comes as shares have been flirting with a 52-week low and trading well below the 200-day moving average. Translation: the market already had a pretty cold vibe, and this downgrade adds another blast of winter air.
The analyst chorus is getting messier
Piper isn’t alone in trimming expectations. Recent calls from other firms have also come in softer, with targets coming down across the board. That’s important because software stocks tend to trade on forward-looking vibes, and when the Street starts pulling its numbers lower, the whole story can reprice fast.
The legal cloud doesn’t help
On top of the rating action, multiple law firms have been floating securities class-action claims tied to allegations that monday.com overstated its revenue trajectory, including its big FY2027 projection. Even if nothing is settled yet, legal headlines are basically the corporate equivalent of stepping on a rake: noisy, distracting, and rarely helpful for sentiment.
Big picture: monday.com is still the kind of company Wall Street wants to love, but right now the market is acting more like it needs a convincing follow-up text.
