GitLab started at Buy by Rosenblatt on AI tailwinds, upsell potential
-- Rosenblatt started coverage of GitLab with a Buy rating and a $58 price target given company's strong positioning in the evolving software development landscape and emerging opportunities tied to generative AI. Analysts see GitLab benefiting from both the increasing complexity of application development and the widespread adoption of AI-assisted coding. While generative AI may commoditize parts of the coding process, Rosenblatt argues it ultimately drives more code creation, benefiting platforms like GitLab that manage the full software development lifecycle. The firm also flagged meaningful upside from GitLab's push to upsell its higher-tier 'Ultimate' plans and expand adoption of new AI-based add-on products. Only about a quarter of GitLab's paying users are currently on Ultimate, leaving room to grow recurring revenue across its 10,000-plus customer base. Margins are also expected to expand meaningfully, with adjusted operating margin projected to reach the mid-teens next year and longer-term targets above 30%. Rosenblatt expects GitLab to generate $939 million in revenue in fiscal 2026, up 24% year-on-year, and sees non-GAAP earnings of $0.75 per share. The $58 price target implies a 36% return and values the stock at 7.8 times estimated FY27 revenue. 'We believe GitLab has established itself as one of the two leading providers of comprehensive software development platforms, with over 30m registered users, and has broadened into many adjacent areas and additional personas, just in time to make the Company robust (and perhaps even anti-fragile) to the AI wave,' analysts at Rosenblatt said.

These include indie hits like Wheel World and blockbusters like Robocop: Rogue City . Let's get into it. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Robocop: Rogue City came as a huge surprise back in 2023. A game based on a decades-old sci-fi franchise by a relatively unknown developer? It should have been a train wreck. Instead, it's a solid 3D action title that perfectly captures the vibe of the original film. This is a must-play for children of the 1980s. It'll be available on July 17 for subscribers on all tiers. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Grounded 2 looks to be a fantastic take on the "shrunken teens navigating a yard" genre, as first pioneered in the film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids . The first game was great and Obsidian looks to be upping the ante here in nearly every way , with a larger focus on story, a more immersive world and insects to ride around on. This is a day one Game Pass release, which happens on July 29. It'll only be playable for PC and Ultimate subscribers. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The Annapurna-published Wheel World is finally heading our way on July 23, and it's a day one Game Pass release. This is an open-world bicycle sim with gorgeous cel-shaded graphics. The title promises "impressive vistas, hidden secrets and races that will test your skills." It'll be available for Ultimate and PC subscribers. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is another day one release, with availability on July 24. This is a Souls-like action RPG set in the final days of the Ming Dynasty. The combat looks absolutely brutal. Again, only Ultimate and PC subscribers will have access to the game. Those are just the titles that caught my interest. The shooter High On Life returns to the platform today and the survival horror adventure My Friendly Neighborhood drops on July 17. The prison-based RPG Back to the Dawn will be playable on July 18 and the survival crafting title Abiotic Factor releases on July 22. As always, Game Pass remains one heck of a deal .

Chennai's Flywild Ultimate Frisbee team wins TRIO Invitational Tournament 2025 in Malaysia
There is something about the high you experience, watching an edge-of-the seat victory in a sports movie on the big screen. Closer home however, the sands of Besant Nagar beach that has several teams come together to play Ultimate Frisbee through the year has an inspiring, and almost equally cinematic story to tell. At the TRIO Invitational Tournament 2025 held in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year, Flywild, one of Chennai's most promising Ultimate Frisbee clubs clinched the gold, becoming the first club team from India to win an international tournament. Facing off players from different countries including Indonesia, China, Japan, Thailand, and USA, Flywild played a well-fought final against the team Pancake Men from Philippines and emerged victorious, in what was also the club's first international tournament participation. Sedric Emmanuel, the team's captain, says they initially lost two matches and won one, which meant their fourth match was to decide if they would make it to the quarter-finals. 'We initially struggled through that match. While we play with no pressure back home in Chennai, this was a lot more challenging. We motivated each other as a team and got through,' he says. Once they were in the quarter-finals, their winning streak continued. The tournament was a culmination of four months of practice, and special camps. 'While some of us have played internationally as part of team India in other international tournaments, this was the first international travel experience for many other members,' says Siva Raman, who coached the team and topped the stats board in the tourney as the player with the most goals and assists. 'We took this as a challenge, and decided to create history for Ultimate in India,' he adds. Many young players on the team have inspiring stories to tell, of how their passion for the sport has changed their lives and kept them going through hard times. Paul Pradeep, founder of Puyal, an Ultimate club in Chennai who was also Flywild's manager for the TRIO tournament says that many players who take to playing Ultimate in Chennai, and some who went on this tournament came from disadvantaged backgrounds. Team captain Sedric who is 23-years-old was job-hunting in the run-up to the tournament, and had also suffered a significant financial setback. 'I had to turn down opportunities to participate in tournaments in the UK and Portugal. However, for the TRIO invitational, the Ultimate community and my team helped me secure funds. We are a family, a team of brothers,' says the player, whose father is an auto driver. The sight of grown-up 'annas' diving into the sand, and throwing around a disc nearly 14 years ago is something Akash Palani still cannot forget. 'Many children including me from Thiruvalluvar Nagar were introduced to the game and encouraged to play. It soon became an after-school activity. The game has given me an identity. If you ask about AP, everyone will know me and I have also met so many people from across the world because of this sport,' he says. The Ultimate community, he says, came together to fund and help him complete his college education, to become a physical education trainer. 'I learnt at a young age what 'spirit of the game' means thanks to Ultimate, and this has guided my life throughout,' says the 24-year-old player, who also credits the sport to having given him an opportunity to go to France as a volunteer for the 2024 Summer Olympics. His teammate and a gymnastics coach, P Neelakandan says that being introduced to the sport at a young age immensely helped him with exposure. 'I feel that since we do not play for money, we do not fight and stick together,' he adds. Given that Ultimate thrives on a sport played for passion across the country, many players juggle full-time jobs and make it to practice sessions through the week. S Santhosh, who works as a delivery representative with Swiggy says he finishes his work shifts from 7am to 6pm, and then heads to practice, which goes on till 10pm. 'I took to playing Ultimate when I was 10 years old, after seeing my brother play. The TRIO Invitational was my first international tournament,' says the player, whose father is a watchman. According to Ben Ong, tournament director, winning ahead of the usual Asian powerhouses that are Japan, the Philippines and Singapore has put India on everyone's radar now. 'This is the first time a team from India has come this far in a tournament in Malaysia. Many teams that they beat on their way to the gold medal have already told me they want to come back, and look forward to playing the Flywild players again. I am very happy that all their hard work and sacrifices, especially given some of the players' financial difficulties, has come to fruition and it was a joy to see them play with a lot of heart and win,' he says. This unprecedented win has given the Ultimate community in Chennai, and across the country, much to be enthused about. 'I was part of a team from India that went to Malaysia in 2011 for a tournament. It has taken us 14 years to get that gold medal,' says Abhinav Vinayakh Shankar, a senior player and mentor with Flywild. Abhinav, who saw the young Flywild team clinch the gold as a spirit director for the tournament, says it was very inspiring to see the team as the underdogs, adapt to the local conditions, work together, and rise up to the challenges. 'Teams from India have come to the finals several times in the past and have fallen short. To see the Flywild team seize the opportunity like they did; this is truly what sport is all about,' he says.

Victory Lap: Fred Again needs to give Hanumankind a proper verse, listen to the song before Instagram ruins it
After Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh sang their way into the hearts of millions of people worldwide with 'Sapphire'', the music gods have blessed us again, and this time they have done that through producer and DJ Fred Again, who basically just called everyone on his contact list and made a song that is already taking the world by storm within just 24 hours of its release. The DJ dropped two tracks on Spotify titled 'Victory Lap' pt. 1 and 2, and while the overall structure and instrumentation of both tracks are the same, the second part leaves nothing to one's imagination with electrifying verses from some of the biggest names in the industry, including a single-bar cameo from Hanumankind. Hard-hitting hi-hats and snares along with a bass track (which is more addicting than whatever Eric Clapton was consuming back in the 70s) almost creep up on you layer by layer, as Doechii kicks things off with a 'hook'-like verse which later becomes the bridge between different sections performed by other artistes. As soon as you start bopping your head, trying to keep up with the instrumental along with Doechii's crisp delivery, which seems to suit her more than some of her slower and profound tracks, British rapper Skepta enters the booth with bars that make you wonder whether he is rapping to save his life. The grime rapper references everything from podcast hosts Wallo and Gillie to Hugo Boss and Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho before he lays the ball up for Denzel Curry to completely slam it home 6 ways to Sunday. ALSO READ: From the 'soundproof' hills of Kashmir to Bollywood: Meet Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, musicians behind Saiyaara's title track If some of you have forgotten who Denzel is or what he is capable of, he was the one responsible for millions of memes and vines that were created on his track 'Ultimate'. Since then, he has been putting in the work and dropping quality projects, along with performing impressive covers of rock bands such as Rage Against The Machine. Curry goes deep in his arsenal, and after skirting with the speed limit of the track, switches to half-time delivery, which adds another impressive layer to the already engaging song by giving a breather, which doesn't take away from the pace of the track but still allows you to sit back and take it all in. Curry transitions into a bridge after that, with Doechii finishing things off with her hook of the song. Just before the curtain closes, though, you can hear a single line sung by a pretty familiar voice, as Hanumankind closes the song with a single bar. One can only hope that this is some kind of a hint that Fred and Hanumankind are planning to work on a project together in the future, and if this hip-hop-heavy track was any kind of indication, the audience is in for a real treat.

2025 Chery C5: Smarter, smoother, sharper than ever
SPONSORED Meet the 2025 Chery C5, previously the Chery Omoda 5, only this one has had a proper glow-up for its mid-life refresh. Gone is the confusion of multiple trim levels. Now, there's just two to choose from: the well-equipped Urban, and the fully loaded Ultimate you're looking at here. Simple. Sensible. And, honestly, it makes the buying process refreshingly easy. First thing you'll notice? That grille. It's the latest take on Chery's signature diamond pattern, only it's way more refined this time – classy, even. It adds visual polish without losing that distinct Chery flavour – no pun intended. I especially like the LED light signature up front. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. On the Ultimate, you also get these great looking gloss black 18-inch alloys, enhanced by those striking red brake calipers behind them. It gives the C5 more polish without trying too hard. None of those questionable red plastic accents that adorned the previous iteration, either. Boot space has grown too, up to 370 litres with the second-row seats in place and nearly triple that when folded. More than enough to cater for busy lifestyles or loading up for family getaways. Supplied Credit: CarExpert But here's where it really gets interesting: multi-link rear suspension has been added. That's usually something you see in premium cars. What it means here is more composed handling and a more comfortable ride – especially when tackling speed pumps and uneven surfaces. And the old CVT? That's gone too. Replaced with a far more sophisticated six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. And that alone changes the drive completely – it's smoother, more responsive, and noticeably quieter. You feel more connected to the car. It actually makes it feel more premium than its price point might suggest. Supplied Credit: CarExpert For the daily commute you can leave it in the default 'Normal' mode, but when you want to get moving with a tad more urgency, just tap the conveniently positioned drive mode button on the console for 'Sport'. There's even a nice rorty engine note. The engine's still a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder, which always had some welcome punch, but with the new gearbox power delivery is now more linear and even more immediate for a noticeably improved driving experience. It feels less strained on the steeper inclines, too, especially around town. It's a very easy SUV to get comfortable with, given the light and easy steering weight, making it a cinch to park in tight and tricky spots. Supplied Credit: CarExpert On the fuel-efficiency front, Chery claims 6.9L/100km on 91 RON standard unleaded, so you won't be stretching the budget at the fuel bowser either. Inside, there aren't any big changes – but honestly, there didn't need to be either, given it's still one of the most visually striking cabins in the small SUV segment, with big screens, plenty of soft-touch materials, and a premium look and feel that punches well above the price points. And thankfully, Chery's exceedingly comfortable seats haven't changed either – just have a look at the level of detail that's gone into the design of these sumptuous chairs with contrast piping, which really impressed me on the previous model – and in fact in every Chery model I've driven to date. Softly cushioned, supportive, and a standout factor on longer drives. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Tech-wise, it's also generously stacked. You get dual 10.25-inch screens, wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that pairs in seconds, and voice control that works a treat. Just say 'Hello Chery' and you can get all four windows to open or close automatically, along with loads more commands that make it just so liveable. Standard kit across the C5 lineup includes auto LED headlights, cornering fog lights, intelligent high-beam, heated folding mirrors, configurable ambient lighting that's especially good (and this extra light bar reminds me of BMW's ultra-lush iX), along with keyless entry and start with remote window control – even on the base Urban. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Oh, and all four windows are one-touch open and close. Make no mistake, these are properly premium features. Step up to the Ultimate and you unlock more premium kit, like the 360-degree camera, power tailgate, sunroof with retractable shade, heated and synthetic leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate, even a frameless auto-dimming mirror. It's all there and then some. Even the centre console looks top-shelf with a snazzy gear shift lever and two wireless phone pads. And there's a schmick, flat-bottom, three-spoke steering wheel that feels great to the touch and with plenty of shortcut functionality to it, too. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Safety's fully sorted too. There a five-star ANCAP rating and a full suite of driver assists, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and the very handy walk-away locking and walk-up unlocking for the ultimate convenience. So what's the verdict? Well, it drives better, feels more resolved, and still undercuts the competition on price, even though it's loaded with premium features. But here's the real kicker. The Urban is yours for $29,990 drive-away, or it's $34,990 drive-away for the Ultimate. That's properly sharp value. Supplied Credit: CarExpert When you factor in Chery's seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, seven-years of capped-price servicing and up to seven years of roadside assist, it's the bargain of the year. If you're looking for a small SUV that quietly nails the brief and looks and feels genuinely premium – and boasts excellent comfort, loads of features, the highest safety rating, and a drive that's stepped up – this new Chery C5 is guaranteed to win you over.
