William Blair reiterates outperform rating on Zeta Global stock

Investing.com - William Blair on Monday reiterated its Outperform rating on Zeta Global Holdings Corp (NYSE:ZETA), citing strong fundamentals and growth opportunities. The company has shown impressive momentum with a 12.54% return over the past week, according to InvestingPro data.

The investment firm highlighted its recent investor meetings with Zeta's CFO Chris Greiner and Senior Vice President of Investor Relations Matt Pfau, noting significant investor interest in the company's consistent execution and growth potential. This interest appears well-founded, with revenue growing 40.36% over the last twelve months.

William Blair observed that management expressed a bullish outlook on fundamentals, pointing to steady demand as brands seek to modernize marketing technology stacks, enhance customer engagement, and integrate AI into marketing strategies.

The firm believes Zeta shares are currently undervalued, trading at approximately 11 times EBITDA and 21 times free cash flow, despite being a company with over 20% organic revenue growth and expanding EBITDA margins exceeding 20%.

William Blair indicated that continued execution and potential upside to estimates will be crucial factors for multiple expansion, particularly considering the substantial growth opportunities ahead for Zeta Global.
