📍 What does JFrog do?

JFrog provides a platform for automated software delivery - from development to operation. It manages so-called artifacts (i.e. software packages, containers, AI models) and automates the entire delivery process. Companies use JFrog to deliver software faster, more securely and more consistently - whether in the cloud, on-premises or at the edge.

The goal: software should be delivered as smoothly as data - which is why JFrog calls its concept "Liquid Software".

🧠 How does JFrog use artificial intelligence?

JFrog itself is not a classic "AI company" - but AI is central to two things:

Security & Automation:

JFrog uses AI-powered analysis to automatically detect and assess vulnerabilities in software - even in complex open source stacks.

Deployment of AI models:

Many customers use JFrog to deploy their own AI models automatically and securely securely into production. This makes JFrog the infrastructure behind modern AI.

📈 Growth & momentum

• Q2 2025 revenue: USD 127.2 million → +23% YoY
• Cloud revenue: +45 %
• Customer loyalty (net dollar retention): 118%
• 61 major customers with sales of over USD 1 million - +45% year-on-year

JFrog is operationally profitable with a gross margin of 83% and a free cash flow margin of 28

The balance sheet is debt-free, with over USD 600 million in cash reserves - a stable basis for further growth.

📊 Valuation & market sentiment

The share is valued at a forward P/E ratio of approx. 61 and a sales multiple of around 9.

This is ambitiousbut is well underpinned by growth, margins and market position. The share price rose significantly after the last quarterly figures - there is technical momentum.

📍 Opportunities & risks

Opportunities:

- Important building block in DevOps and AI infrastructures

- High cloud share with strong growth

- High customer loyalty & strong cash flow

Risks:

- Valuation challenging
