In Q4 2024, A10 Networks reported $74.2 million in revenue, reflecting a 5% year-over-year increase, driven by both enterprise and service provider segments. The company also saw a notable improvement in profitability, with adjusted EPS rising 24% to $0.31.

Following the strong quarterly performance, BWS Financial analyst Hamed Khorsand reaffirmed a Buy rating on A10 Networks, maintaining a $24 price target. He highlighted the company’s better-than-expected Q4 results, with revenue surpassing the $70.7 million estimate, largely driven by stronger purchases from North American service providers, a market that had previously been inconsistent. The analyst believes that this revenue rebound has provided a boost to A10’s stock, and its ability to sustain earnings growth and positive free cash flow positions it well for continued valuation growth throughout 2025.
