Cantor Fitzgerald reiterates Overweight rating on Freshworks stock

Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has maintained its Overweight rating and $20.00 price target on Freshworks Inc (NASDAQ:FRSH), currently trading at $13.92, following the company’s second-quarter results. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 84.39% and has shown strong revenue growth of 20.46% over the last twelve months.

The firm highlighted Freshworks’ "solid beat and raise" performance in the quarter, noting particular strength in the company’s Employee Experience (EX) business, which grew 22% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. The Customer Experience (CX) segment showed improvement with growth accelerating to 8% in constant currency, up 100 basis points quarter-over-quarter. InvestingPro analysis reveals that net income is expected to grow this year, with analysts predicting profitability in 2025.

Large customer growth emerged as a key positive indicator, with customers generating over $50,000 in annual recurring revenue increasing by 22%. This up-market performance contributed to improved operating profit margin and free cash flow margin results.

Management updated its full-year guidance by incorporating the second-quarter revenue outperformance while increasing operating income by less than the second-quarter beat. The earnings per share guidance remained unchanged due to planned growth investments in artificial intelligence, go-to-market headcount, and brand spending expected in the second half of the year. According to InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, Freshworks appears undervalued at current levels, with 6 additional ProTips available for subscribers.

With a market capitalization of $4.1 billion and strong financial health metrics, detailed analysis of Freshworks’ potential is available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report on InvestingPro.
