BMO Capital analyst Daniel Jester maintained a Hold rating on Expensify (EXFY – Research Report) today and set a price target of $3.00.
Daniel Jester has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Expensify is in a period of transition, facing both challenges and potential improvements. Although Expensify’s recent performance has not met expectations, with revenue experiencing a notable year-over-year decline, it was not as weak as some might have feared. The company’s effort to grow its customer base and fully capitalize on its existing clientele has been hindered by an inconsistent macroeconomic climate for small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, the introduction of a new chat-centric application and added features could provide avenues to enhance Expensify’s financial standing; however, these developments are expected to yield results over an extended period.
Despite the company’s revenue deceleration, Expensify has implemented cost-saving measures leading to a stronger EBITDA than anticipated, showing effective cost management. Furthermore, while the company’s free cash flow (FCF) forecast signals potential stability, the expected levels fall short of previous years, introducing an element of caution. The adjustments in Jester’s financial model reflect a conservative stance, taking into account lower interchange fees and stagnant paid user growth, alongside reduced operating expenses. Given these mixed signals, including the pressures on near-term growth and the competitive landscape in expense management solutions, Jester concludes that it would be premature to adopt a more optimistic outlook until there is greater evidence of successful implementation of management’s strategies and clearer indicators of growth stabilization.
