Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow downgraded Appian (APPN) to Underweight from Equal Weight with an unchanged price target of $76.
The 121% rally in the shares in November is driven primarily by technical factors rather than a change in fundamental narrative, Lenschow tells investors in a research note. The analyst, who says Appian is now one of the most expensive stocks in his coverage, views the rally as "unwarranted" and expects the stock to de-rate.
Appian's "rich" valuation is unjustified based on its growth prospects and mix of professional services, says Lenschow.
