Arjun Bhatia has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to Sprout Social’s developing AI roadmap and early-stage monetization plans. While the company is rolling out Trellis AI for social listening and moving it from beta to broad availability, the initiatives are still nascent and their ultimate revenue contribution and adoption curve remain uncertain.
Bhatia also notes that management is only beginning to outline a broader “agentic” AI strategy, with many capabilities still in preview or concept phase rather than fully commercialized offerings. This mix of promising innovation but limited visibility into timing, pricing, and customer uptake leads him to a more balanced stance on the shares at this stage, supporting a Hold rather than a more aggressive rating.
Bhatia covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as InterDigital, ServiceNow, and Sprout Social. According to TipRanks, Bhatia has an average return of -5.3% and a 39.62% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released on March 2, Goldman Sachs also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $8.00 price target.
