Will A10 Networks' (ATEN) New CFO Drive Its Next Growth Phase?

A10 Networks Inc. (NYSE:ATEN) is one of the worst-performing data center stocks in 2025. Its stock is largely flat since the start of the year, which contrasts with the broader strong performance of larger data center-exposed stocks.

On September 24, the company’s new CFO, Michelle Caron, took charge from Brian Becker, who has stepped down and is expected to leave the company at the end of September 2025. Michelle joins from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a division of Danaher Corporation, where she served as the VP of Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

Analyst activity on the stock has been scarce, with the latest update coming from BTIG analyst Gray Powell on August 8, where he upgraded the stock to a Buy with a price target of $22. The analyst’s update came after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 2025 results, which were viewed as impressive by him. He believed that this strength could help the company report high-single-digit growth this year and double-digit growth in the future.

A10 Networks (NYSE:ATEN) provides security and infrastructure solutions for on-premises, hybrid cloud, and edge cloud environments.
