7. Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD)

Rapid7, Inc. operates as a cybersecurity services and software provider. The company offers its services under the Nexpose, Metasploit, and  Rapid7 brand names. It provides Rapid7 Insight Agent, Rapid7 Insight Network Sensor, Rapid7 Cloud Event Data Harvesting, and third-party integrations and ecosystem. According to the median analyst price target, the stock still has an upside of 52.77%.

As part of the cybersecurity firm’s settlement with activist investor Jana Partners, it added three new members to its board of directors at the end of last month. The newly appointed directors are Mike Burns, Kevin Galligan, and Wael Mohamed. Rapid7 is likely to benefit from this move as Jana Partners holds a 5.8% stake in the company and is now free to make its move to transform the company.

CEO and Chairman Corey Thomas commented:

“Rapid7 is entering an exciting new chapter of growth, and we are confident that adding Wael, Mike and Kevin to our Board will accelerate our ability to execute with greater speed, focus and impact, each brings a wealth of expertise that will help us sharpen our strategy, strengthen execution and drive greater value creation for our shareholders.”

For 2025, the cybersecurity firm expects 4% to 6% growth in annual recurring revenue fueled by its Detect and Respond segment. It projects total revenue growth of 2% to 3% for the year. The company plans to invest up to $30 million in strategic initiatives, which should help drive long-term growth.
