Company Report

Rapid7’s Competitive Landscape Remains Tough as It Pursues Returns on Its Cybersecurity Solutions

Rapid7 is a prominent vendor in security operations and threat detection, which we view as key components of the cybersecurity stack, and which stand to gain wallet share of customers' spending as firms digitize their workflows. While secular tailwinds blow in Rapid7’s favor, we are wary of the firm’s fierce competition and exposure to macro swings. We also anticipate that the firm’s investments to expand its portfolio may take time to bear fruit.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Rapid7 has strong secular tailwinds in endpoint security and security operations where both markets are projected to grow rapidly.

Bears

The firm will likely have poor operating leverage and cash flow for the next few years, making it difficult to invest in order to stay competitive.
