The slowdown in PagerDuty's revenue growth is attributed to macroeconomic conditions, not structural issues. PD's strategic pivot to focus on enterprise accounts is promising, with strong execution evident in growing large accounts and stable ARR growth. Valuation is attractive, with potential for significant upside as revenue growth accelerates, potentially reaching a share price of ~$33, representing ~76% upside.

PD's second-quarter fiscal 2025 results benefit from an expanding customer base. However, weak top-line guidance negatively impacts share price.
