AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

QLYS has shifted from a steady cybersecurity compounder to a re-rating story, with solid demand and raised FY2026 guidance supporting the bull case, but after the sharp rally the main question is whether Q2 execution can justify the now-stretched expectations rather than simply confirm a good business.
