Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette maintained a Hold rating on NerdWallet, Inc. Class A (NRDS – Research Report) today and set a price target of $15.00.
James Faucette has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors concerning NerdWallet, Inc. Class A’s current financial performance and future outlook. NerdWallet has been consistent in managing its profitability, showing strong performance in its SMB products and a recovery in its Insurance segment. Despite the macroeconomic challenges, the company’s management is optimistic about achieving double-digit total revenue growth rates in the second half of 2024, banking on an anticipated normalization of demand from partners in sectors like balance-transfer cards, banking, and loans.
Moreover, Faucette notes that while the company has seen a decline in sales and marketing expenses, it has simultaneously achieved a record level of brand awareness and monthly unique users (MUUs). However, there exists some execution risk attached to achieving the projected growth, given external factors such as partner acquisition strategies and interest rate impacts. The potential for easier comparable periods later in the year and the quick response of pricing to renewed partner demand are also factors considered in maintaining the Hold rating. The report suggests that NerdWallet’s ability to navigate through a difficult macro environment while laying the groundwork for future growth justifies the present rating.
