Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Advertising GrowthAuto insurers will ramp up advertising-for-growth spend beyond sell-side expectations, benefiting MAX which derives ~65% of its revenues from the auto insurance direct-to-consumer channel.
Financial PerformanceMediaAlpha's Q4 results came in well ahead of guidance, with Transaction Value, Revenue, and adj. EBITDA all ahead of expectations, as the Auto insurance recovery continues its momentum.
Settlement And ResolutionsMAX will be able to settle at an amount that does not require an equity capital raise, which if correct would act as a positive catalyst for the stock.
Bears Say
Guidance And ExpectationsFirst-quarter guidance was below expectations, with the midpoint of revenue at $235 million being roughly 15% below consensus.
Investigation ImpactShares sold off shortly after stellar Q3 results in response to the FTC investigation and have understandably not recovered.
Regulatory ChallengesThe ongoing FTC investigation poses a risk, and the price target is lowered to reflect this and other downward estimate revisions.
