Is Similarweb a Good Stock to Buy?
Even though Similarweb’s current price looks appealing as the stock is currently trading near its annual low price of $7.60, investors may want to resist buying the dip because the company has been consistently reporting losses since its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in May 2021. Further, the stock closed 4.8% down on Tuesday in anticipation of weak second-quarter results.
However, on TipRanks, Similarweb has a Strong Buy consensus rating, which is based on four unanimous Buys. SMWB’s average price target of $19.33 implies upside potential of 135.7%.
