In a report released today, Michael Infante from Morgan Stanley maintained a Hold rating on NerdWallet, Inc. Class A (NRDS – Research Report), with a price target of $12.00.
Michael Infante has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors such as the significant growth in NerdWallet’s insurance segment, which has become a major revenue driver. While insurance revenue has seen a remarkable increase, contributing significantly to the company’s overall performance, there is concern about the company’s heavy reliance on this single vertical. As other segments like credit cards, loans, and SMB products are experiencing declines, the sustainability of growth is questionable once insurance growth starts to face tougher comparisons.
Additionally, there is limited visibility into revenue acceleration outside of the insurance segment, prompting a cautious outlook. The company’s strategic focus on improving customer engagement and the revised guidance for operating income, which falls below consensus estimates, also contribute to the Hold rating. These factors, combined with the lowered price target, reflect a cautious stance on the stock’s future performance.
According to TipRanks, Infante is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 19.6% and a 100.00% success rate. Infante covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as nCino, Clearwater Analytics Holdings, and Q2 Holdings.
