Despite the lowered price target, JMP Securities believes that the addition of Yahoo to Taboola's revenue stream in 2024 sets a challenging comparison for 2025, leading them to predict a substantial slowdown in growth for the year ahead. Nevertheless, they point out that Taboola's current valuation, at approximately 6 times JMP Securities' 2024 EBITDA estimates, provides a reason to remain positive on the stock.The firm's stance is buoyed by the value proposition of Taboola's stock, which they argue is supported by its current trading levels relative to projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the next year. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently undervalued, with additional ProTips highlighting management's aggressive share buybacks and strong balance sheet position. The report concludes with an emphasis on the positive aspects of Taboola's business, which may continue to influence its performance in the market.
