The broader market is providing a favorable backdrop, with the NASDAQ 100 tracking Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) up 0.66% to $719.24. A weaker-than-expected July jobs report has reduced expectations for a September interest-rate hike, giving investors another reason to favor growth-oriented technology stocks.
Atlassian Emerges As an AI Beneficiary
Atlassian stock is leading the software rally after the company finished fiscal 2026 on a strong note and provided a better-than-expected cloud growth outlook for fiscal 2027. Bank of America upgraded Atlassian to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $175 from $105, arguing that the company’s workflow and collaboration data could become an increasingly valuable AI asset.
Jefferies also raised its price target to $200 from $150, pointing to 31% cloud revenue growth in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2027 guidance for 25.5% growth. Wells Fargo raised its target to $180 from $140, saying the results reduced concerns about declining developer seats while highlighting Atlassian’s increasingly important role in an AI-driven software market.

Twilio Gets a Beat-And-Raise Boost
Twilio stock is surging after the communications-platform company delivered what Bank of America described as a “beat-and-raise” second-quarter report. Bank of America raised its TWLO stock price target to $270 from $235 and maintained a Buy rating, arguing that Twilio’s long-term growth potential as a share gainer in the communications-platform-as-a-service market remains underappreciated.
