SentinelOne

SentinelOne shares climbed nearly 14% in morning trading to $22.51, approaching a 52-week high of $23.95. The move followed several positive analyst notes, including an “Outperform” from Wedbush, Susquehanna raising its price target to $28, and a buy recommendation from William Blair. Fundamentals support the optimism: Q2 revenue of $292 million beat expectations and the company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $1.202–$1.207 billion. SentinelOne also integrated OpenAI-Daybreak models (including GPT-5.6-Cyber) into its Wayfinder Frontier AI Services, reinforcing its position as an AI-native security platform. » Mere på de.investing.com
