Shutterstock stock hits 52-week low at $18.61 amid market challenges

Shutterstock , Inc. (NYSE:SSTK), a leading global provider of stock photography, stock footage, stock music, and editing tools, has seen its stock price tumble to a 52-week low of $18.61. The company, which generates annual revenue of $935 million and maintains a healthy gross profit margin of 58%, has been actively returning value to shareholders through share buybacks and a notable dividend yield of 6.9%. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued at current levels. This latest price level reflects a significant downturn for the company, which has experienced a stark 1-year change with a decline of -58.63%. The drop to this low point marks a challenging period for Shutterstock as it navigates through a shifting digital media landscape and competitive pressures. With the RSI indicating oversold conditions and analysts forecasting profit growth, investors and market analysts are closely monitoring the company’s performance and strategic initiatives as it attempts to recover and stabilize its stock value in the coming months.

In other recent news, Shutterstock reported record revenues for the third quarter of 2024, reaching $251 million, a 7.4% increase compared to the previous year. The company’s growth was driven by its focus on AI-driven content and the strategic acquisition of Envato, which added $38 million to its content revenue. Despite these positive results, Truist Securities downgraded Shutterstock’s stock rating from Buy to Hold due to concerns over the lack of financial guidance for 2025 and uncertainties surrounding the upcoming merger with Getty Images. Needham analysts also adjusted their outlook, reducing the price target to $30 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing near-term risks but recognizing the potential long-term value of the merger.

Shutterstock announced a dividend of $0.33 per share, payable on March 20, 2025, reinforcing its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company has also raised its full-year revenue guidance to $935-$940 million, supported by strong performance in its Content and Digital Design Services divisions. Meanwhile, Needham analysts noted that Shutterstock appears undervalued compared to Getty Images, trading at a significant discount based on current stock prices. As Shutterstock continues to focus on AI content and strategic partnerships, investors will watch closely to see how the company navigates the challenges and opportunities presented by the merger and broader market conditions.
