JFrog (FROG) stock jumped 17% to $66.56 on Friday after the company beat Q1 earnings expectations and lifted its full-year outlook.

JFrog Ltd., FROG

The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.27, up from $0.19 a year ago and well ahead of the $0.22 analyst consensus. Revenue came in at $154M, a 26% year-over-year increase, topping Wall Street’s $147.4M estimate.

JFrog had been under pressure in 2026, down 8.7% heading into Thursday’s report, as investors worried that AI-native coding tools could eat into demand for existing software platforms.

Those concerns took a hit Friday.

CEO Shlomi Ben Haim pushed back on the narrative, telling Barron’s that AI coding agents are creating more software — and more software means more binary code to manage and secure. That’s JFrog’s core business.

Cloud Revenue Crosses the Majority Mark

Cloud revenue was a standout in the quarter, rising 50% year-over-year to $78.9M. That’s an acceleration from 42.1% growth the prior quarter and well above sell-side estimates of 36.7%.

Cloud now makes up more than half of JFrog’s total revenue, up from 43% a year ago.

Ben Haim noted that customers are increasingly spending above their annual commitments — a sign of growing usage. JFrog’s guidance, however, is based on commitments only, leaving room for upside.

Analysts Lift Targets Across the Board

DA Davidson raised its price target to $90 from $65, the most bullish on the Street, citing strong security adoption and cloud usage driven by AI workloads. The firm kept its Buy rating.

BTIG analyst Nick Altmann also reiterated Buy and raised his target to $80 from $60, praising management’s conservative guidance approach as leaving “room for continued upside.”

Needham raised its target to $80 from $70, also maintaining Buy, and highlighted the cloud growth acceleration as a key positive.

JFrog’s full-year 2026 guidance now calls for adjusted EPS of $0.93–$0.97, up from $0.88–$0.92, and revenue of $628M–$632M, up from $623M–$628M.

The earnings report came a day after Fortinet (FTNT) posted its own beat, lifting the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF 3.5% on Thursday.

FROG stock was trading near its 52-week high of $70.43 following Friday’s move, with a gross profit margin of 76.79%.
