Eventbrite (EB – Research Report), the Technology sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Naved Khan from B.Riley Financial maintained a Hold rating on the stock and has a $3.50 price target.
Naved Khan’s rating is based on several factors influencing Eventbrite’s current and future performance. Despite the company’s fourth-quarter results surpassing modest market expectations, the outlook for 2025 fell short of consensus estimates. This shortfall is attributed to the ongoing impact of revenue loss from organizer fees due to the reintroduction of free listings.
While there are positive signs, such as gradual improvements in key performance indicators and the potential benefits from new initiatives like a revamped mobile app and increased adoption of Eventbrite Ads, these developments are progressing slower than anticipated. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the timing and financial impact of these initiatives. Given these considerations, Khan finds the risk and reward to be balanced, leading to a downgrade from Buy to Neutral and a reduction in the price target.
