Dylan Becker has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including resilient fundamentals and robust demand across Blend Labs’ mortgage and consumer product lines, even as macro uncertainty and rate volatility pressure near-term sentiment. He notes that revenue growth meaningfully outpaced expectations and was supported by a healthy pace of new customer wins, underscoring the durability of the business despite a challenging housing finance backdrop.
Becker also emphasizes the strength of Blend’s pipeline, highlighted by substantial year-over-year backlog growth and a growing opportunity set tied to its new AI-driven Autopilot offerings, which already represent a meaningful incremental revenue prospect. While he acknowledges that a broad-based recovery in origination volumes has yet to materialize and near-term risks remain, he views Blend as strategically positioned to capture AI-driven efficiencies across the mortgage ecosystem, supporting a thesis of faster revenue growth and margin improvement into 2027 and beyond, justifying the Buy recommendation.
In another report released today, Citizens JMP also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $4.00 price target.
