Outlets citing the report say the analyst is bullish on Cyberark's billings and sales growth versus competitors, along with a market environment paying more attention to security issues. 

In a recent barrage of notes, analysts disagreed on the company's future. William Blair likes Cyberark's execution, while O'Neil Equity Research thinks it's "well-positioned" against peers. J.P. Morgan, however, maintains an Underweight rating on Cyberark due to increased competition from CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CA).

Peer Play

According to a recent interview with PureFunds CEO Andrew Chanin, Cyberark's closest comparable peer may be newly-IPOed Rapid7 Inc (NASDAQ: RPD). Both stocks offer investors small-cap ways to play a space expected to growth at a Compound Annual Growth Rate near 10 percent over the next five years.
