On May 22, Atlassian rose 5.5% in regular trading, trading at $87.71/share, with trading volume of approximately $65.43 million. The stock rebounded sharply following a 5.68% decline in the prior session triggered by layoff concerns and weak industry sentiment.
On the news front, the rebound was supported by multiple factors. Oppenheimer recently maintained its Outperform rating on Atlassian and raised its target price from $100 to $110, noting that the company stands to benefit from enterprise adoption of AI-driven workflow tools, with positive customer spending intentions and a key partner position. Meanwhile, the broader application software sector recovered, with Workday gaining 8.46% and Intuit rising 1.68%, providing additional tailwinds.
Atlassian announced in March a workforce reduction of approximately 1,600 employees, roughly 10% of its total headcount, as part of a strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence and enterprise sales. While this move weighed on shares in the short term, analyst coverage suggests longer-term growth potential as AI adoption accelerates across enterprise customers.
