Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
Investing.com - Truist Securities lowered its price target on NerdWallet Inc (NASDAQ:NRDS) to $17.00 from $19.00 on Monday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the financial guidance company. The stock, currently trading at $9.16, has declined over 30% year-to-date, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is trading below its Fair Value.
The price target reduction follows what Truist described as a "mixed quarter" for NerdWallet, with the firm citing an "insurance mishap" that caused a temporary slowdown in insurance revenue. The issue has since been resolved, with recovery observed in July. Despite recent challenges, the company maintains strong fundamentals with a healthy current ratio of 3.44 and impressive revenue growth of 28.75% over the last twelve months.
Despite the slight miss on top-line revenue, NerdWallet delivered a bottom-line beat thanks to improved cost management. The company’s banking segment was highlighted as a particular bright spot, while performance in other segments remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter.

Truist noted that while NerdWallet is not directly impacted by tariffs, a weakening consumer environment could adversely affect several of its business categories. However, the firm pointed to renewed momentum in insurance, loans, and banking segments, along with the acquisition of a mortgage broker and cost containment measures as positive factors.
These elements should help management deliver on its fiscal year 2025 guidance while the company awaits a more favorable interest rate environment, according to Truist Securities.
