Qualys: The Easy Gains Were Already Made (Rating Downgrade)
Qualys' strong Q3 earnings, raised guidance, and potential sale news drove the stock up significantly, but I'm downgrading it to Hold as its valuation isn't as attractive anymore. The company still has strong profitability (although profitability has fallen a bit) and a debt-free balance sheet. Qualys' net dollar expansion rate improved to 103%, signaling a potential end to the downward trend, but management expects no material improvements in Q4.
