Shares of PagerDuty Inc. (PD) sank nearly 24% to a record low on Wednesday, after brokerages slashed their target price on the stock after the company trimmed its FY2026 topline outlook.

Brokerage Action

Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on PD shares to $16 from $17, while maintaining an ‘Equal Weight’ rating. The firm highlighted that Q3 annual recurring revenue (ARR) slowed to 3% year over year and Q4 guidance points to just 1% revenue growth with flat billings, making a meaningful growth acceleration in FY27 look difficult.

RBC Capital cut its price target on the stock to $17 from $18 but maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating, noting that the company delivered a mixed quarter as seat-based optimizations picked up. The firm added that PagerDuty is pushing multi-year deals and earlier renewals to offset seat-related pressures. While it remains cautious about near-term growth, it is encouraged by the company’s stronger-than-expected profitability.
