Sprout Social (ISIN US85209W1099) saw Stifel raise its price target from USD 12.00 to USD 14.00 on October 14, 2026, while keeping a Buy rating, according to Markets Insider. The move puts the analyst view above the nine-firm Hold consensus cited on Sprout Social's topic page, but the target remains an analyst estimate rather than company guidance.

Stifel points to upmarket demand

Investing.com reported that Stifel based the change on strength among accounts generating USD 30,000 or more in annual recurring revenue. The same report said Sprout Social's second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 10.8 percent year over year to USD 123.8 million, versus a USD 122.18 million estimate. Its non-GAAP operating margin was 12.9 percent, and non-GAAP free cash flow reached USD 8.3 million in that quarter.

What do the results mean?

The operating figures show the central tradeoff in the stock. Revenue growth and a 12.9 percent non-GAAP operating margin support the upmarket argument, while the company still reported a GAAP operating loss of USD 2.669 million in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 0.26 against USD 0.16 consensus, a USD 0.10 beat, according to MarketBeat.
