Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Zendesk stock:

• 2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We maintain our Overweight rating on ZEN and a $35 price target." (8/4/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "On February 8th, after the market close, Zendesk reported 4Q financial results that came in ahead of consensus across all key metrics. Following a sales reorganization effort in mid-2016 that caused some disruption in sales execution in 3Q, Zendesk returned to expansion in its MRR from Enterprise customers (34% vs. 32% in 4Q16) and delivered dollar-based net expansion of 115% (114% in 3Q). With the sales organization demonstrating improved execution, and with products aimed at adjacent markets slated for general release in FY17, Zendesk appears to be in a far better position than most investors were expecting. While our Hold rating reflects some concerns that the company's pathway to $1bn in 2020 remains overly optimistic, and that the associated valuation may still be pricing in too much, we certainly believe that investors should breathe easier with respect to ZEN's FY17 outlook. We have a 12-month target price of $30 on shares of ZEN (up from our prior target of $28)." (2/9/2017)
