RBC Capital upgrades PagerDuty (PD, $35.75), provider of an IT incident response platform, to ‘Outperform’ with a price target of $49. The firm believes the sharp pullback from the post-IPO high of $59.82 set on June 17 creates a more attractive long-term entry point. The firm points out that PagerDuty has the strongest renewal activity in FQ2 and FQ4.
PagerDuty is set to report FQ2 results on September 5.

BofA/Merrill likes FireEye (FEYE, $14.26) on recent weakness, maintaining its price target of $20. The firm believes the margin pressure driven by the migration to public clouds from private is transitory and sees the company’s billings trends as indicative of a growth resumption.
