SEMrush Holdings ( (SEMR) ) has shared an announcement.

On December 29, 2025, Semrush Holdings, Inc. filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC for a special shareholder meeting scheduled on February 3, 2026, to vote on its proposed acquisition by Adobe Inc., under a November 18, 2025 merger agreement that would see Semrush become a wholly owned Adobe subsidiary. Between January 13 and January 15, 2026, three Semrush stockholders filed lawsuits in New York and Massachusetts courts alleging that the proxy statement for the Adobe deal contained material misrepresentations and omissions, seeking to block completion of the merger; while Semrush considers the claims meritless, it has issued supplemental disclosures—detailing board deliberations, formation of a transaction committee, outreach to alternative bidders, Adobe’s revised offer terms, and specific valuation comparables—aimed at mooting the disclosure challenges and reducing litigation risk, though the ultimate outcome and any impact on closing the transaction remain uncertain.

The most recent analyst rating on (SEMR) stock is a Buy with a $13.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SEMrush Holdings stock, see the SEMR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SEMR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SEMR is a Outperform.

SEMrush Holdings’ overall stock score is driven by strong technical momentum and positive corporate events, notably the merger with Adobe. While financial performance shows solid revenue growth and cash flow, profitability challenges and a negative P/E ratio weigh on the valuation. The strategic focus on AI and enterprise solutions, as highlighted in the earnings call, supports future growth prospects.
