KeyBanc maintains NerdWallet stock Overweight rating, $20 target

On Tuesday, KeyBanc Capital Markets reiterated its Overweight rating and $20.00 price target for NerdWallet Inc (NASDAQ:NRDS), emphasizing the company’s commitment to profitable growth. Currently trading at $13.92, the stock shows potential upside according to InvestingPro analysis, with analyst consensus remaining bullish. The financial services company, which specializes in providing financial guidance to consumers, is expected to continue this focus during its fourth-quarter earnings call, scheduled for February 19.

KeyBanc analysts predict that despite the current mixed market conditions and the company’s ongoing efforts to manage traffic dynamics, NerdWallet’s strategic approach should yield positive results. With a "GOOD" overall Financial Health score from InvestingPro and revenue of $637.5 million in the last twelve months, the firm is navigating through challenging comparisons in the insurance sector for the year 2025 but remains optimistic about NerdWallet’s long-term prospects.

The analysts at KeyBanc highlighted several of NerdWallet’s strengths, including its ability to monetize its traffic more effectively, its high product-market fit, and the potential for significant growth in operating income as advertising expenditures level out. Supporting this view, InvestingPro analysis indicates that net income is expected to grow this year, with analysts predicting profitability in 2024. They believe that these factors position NerdWallet well for future performance.

The price target of $20.00 is based on an 11 times multiple of the company’s estimated 2025 enterprise value to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). This valuation reflects KeyBanc’s confidence in NerdWallet’s financial outlook and its ability to overcome current market challenges.

NerdWallet, known for offering tools and advice on personal finance topics such as credit cards, insurance, and mortgages, aims to help consumers make informed financial decisions. The company’s upcoming earnings call is anticipated to shed more light on its strategies and performance amidst the evolving financial landscape.
