Tenable Holdings (TENB) just locked in a OneGov agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration, giving federal agencies including the Department of Defense discounted access to its FedRAMP authorized cloud security platform through early 2027.
See our latest analysis for Tenable Holdings.
Even with this GSA agreement underscoring Tenable’s role in federal cloud security, the stock’s momentum has been weak. A steep year to date share price return decline and a similarly negative one year total shareholder return suggest sentiment is still cautious despite improving fundamentals.
If this kind of government focused growth story appeals to you, it could be worth exploring other cybersecurity and software names via high growth tech and AI stocks as potential complementary opportunities.
With shares down sharply over the past year but analysts still seeing nearly 45 percent upside, is Tenable quietly slipping into undervalued territory, or is the market already discounting its future federal cloud growth?
Compared to Tenable Holdings' last close at $26.28, the most followed narrative pegs fair value much higher and frames today’s price as a discount.
The analysts have a consensus price target of $39.95 for Tenable Holdings based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $45.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $32.0.
Curious how modest revenue growth, a sharp profit swing, and an unusually rich future earnings multiple can still justify this higher value? Unpack the full narrative to see which cash flow path and margin ramp the consensus is quietly baking in, and why the discount rate has barely moved even as sentiment has.
Result: Fair Value of $37.89 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this upside case could falter if federal contract growth slows or hyperscale competitors bundle security tools aggressively, which could pressure Tenable's pricing and margins.
