GitLab stock skyrockets over 35% on AI-powered product announcement, exceeds Q1 revenue expectations

GitLab, a popular software development platform, experienced a surge in its stock price Tuesday after revealing plans to launch an AI-powered product aimed at increasing revenue.

Shares of GitLab Inc jumped more than 35% on Tuesday after the software development platform announced plans to launch a revenue-boosting artificial intelligence (AI)-powered product.

GitLab, widely used by software developers for coding work, will add a "ModelOps" feature to its main "DevSecOps" platform with new capabilities including code writing suggestions. The product is expected to be launched this year at $9 per month, GitLab said late Monday.

"The product ... has the potential to be a healthy growth driver in FY25," Bank of America analysts led by Koji Ikeda said in an investor note.
