UBS Resumes Coverage on Elastic (ESTC) With Buy Rating, $95 Price Target
Elastic N.V. (NYSE:ESTC) is one of the . On August 13, UBS analyst Radi Sultan resumes coverage on the stock with a Buy rating and a price target of $95.00 (from $148.00). The coverage resumption follows conversations with more than fifteen industry checks which have revealed stable to slightly improved demand environment for Elastic's services. The firm particularly likes the 'the near-term numbers setup + medium-term upside optionality from GenAI'. "With the stock pricing in ~12% growth in FY26/27E, we are modeling 13% (in FY26/27E) but think risk is skewed to the upside as we believe Elastic could do 15-16% growth in an upside case. We're also ~4%/6% ahead of the Street for FCF in FY26/27E.' A financial analyst looking at a computer monitor filled with stock market data, expressing confidence in the company's investments. UBS also believes that the AI narrative will eventually shift in Elastic's favor. However, the real GenAI opportunity is one or two years away. 'While we did hear positive datapoints on the AI Search lift and we see room for the AI narrative to shift in Elastic's favor, the real GenAI opportunity still sounds 1-2 years away. The key risk we picked up was competition, but at ~4x CY26E Revs we think this is mostly priced in." Elastic N.V. is a search AI company offering cloud-based solutions. While we acknowledge the potential of ESTC as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

What Kinds of Consumer Lawsuits Are Surfacing in 2025?
• California AG hit Healthline with a record $1.55-million CCPA settlement – the largest yet, according to WilmerHale – for failing to honor opt-out requests and misusing health-related data. • Class actions targeting website cookie and tracking violations (under CIPA) are escalating. A recently proposed state bill aimed to curb these was stalled, meaning more cookie-related suits will likely continue, according to Fisher Phillips. • TCPA class action filings in CA have hit historic highs, with more than 80% being class suits. This is putting businesses that undertake automated calls under intense legal pressure, according to Contact Center Compliance. • A growing wave of class actions alleges undisclosed sponsorships. In April alone, suits were filed in California federal courts against brands like Celsius, Revolve, Alo Yoga and Beach Bunny, claiming inflated prices due to hidden influencer-paid promotions, according to Morgan Lewis. • Credit-reporting (FCRA) and debt-collection (FDCPA) claims rose notably in Q1-Q2 2025. Though FDCPA is slightly down year to date, Q1 saw a spike of 27.7% growth; FCRA rose 5.2%, according to the Consumer Financial Services Law Monitor. • Dietary supplement ProSupps USA had its mislabeling case revived. Per the Ninth Circuit, even a single test indicating false nutritional info triggers a class action possibility under California consumer law.• D.A.'s offices cracked down on sunscreens falsely claiming to be 'reef-safe,' settling with Supergoop and Sun Bum; another suit against Edgewell is moving forward. • Disputes over hidden mandatory fees – like undisclosed airport parking charges – aim to apply California's consumer protection laws even in out-of-state transactions, according to Loeb & Loeb. • Big national antitrust suits are also surfacing (Disney streaming ties, for example), though not typically California-specific. • Some new lawsuits challenge AI transcription tools used in customer service as violations of California's wiretap law (CIPA). These suits argue GenAI systems 'eavesdrop' without proper consent, according to Holland & Knight. • Expanding privacy statutes: The CCPA's stronger penalties in 2025 (up to $799/violation), tighter CPRA rules and active enforcement – like the Healthline case – are fueling more lawsuits. • Advancements in tech and new legal theories: GenAI tools and influencer marketing practices are creating novel claims under old laws, such as CIPA and FTC guidelines. • Aggressive class-action strategies: Plaintiffs' lawyers are pushing the boundaries with single-test sufficiency (e.g., ProSupps) and broad class definitions (influencer suits). • Regulatory momentum: California Attorney General Rob Bonta and other local enforcers are proactively enforcing consumer protections, plus reforms to CA financial regulators' (DFPI) oversight.
