EUR/USD likely to find a peak near 1.25: UBS
On Friday, Craig-Hallum adjusted its outlook on Nextdoor Holdings Inc. (NYSE:KIND), reducing the price target to $3.50 from the previous $4.00, while still maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $1.91, near its 52-week low, InvestingPro data shows the stock has maintained impressive gross profit margins of 83%. The firm’s analyst, Jason Kreyer, provided insights into the company’s ongoing developments and strategic adjustments.
Kreyer highlighted that the NEXT initiative, Nextdoor’s latest project, is showing promising signs of success based on results from six test markets. With revenue growth of 13.27% in the last twelve months and a strong current ratio of 16.7, the company appears well-positioned to support its expansion plans. These results are indicating a potential for a broader rollout in the near future. To support this expansion, Nextdoor’s management is altering advertising loads and monetization strategies, aiming to optimize the impact of NEXT as it launches in new markets.
The analyst noted that these adjustments, along with shifts in advertiser preferences, may lead to a temporary slowdown in growth. However, the nationwide launch of NEXT is expected to reignite growth in the second half of 2025. Kreyer acknowledged the short-term challenges but emphasized the importance of fine-tuning the NEXT initiative for sustained long-term success.
In the statement provided by Kreyer, he expressed confidence in the long-term trajectory of Nextdoor and the NEXT initiative. He believes these are crucial in establishing a more engaging consumer platform. The analyst’s perspective remains positive, as he reaffirmed the Buy rating, indicating a continued optimistic outlook on the company’s future performance.
