Elizabeth Porter’s rating is based on Klaviyo’s strong Q1 performance, which exceeded revenue expectations by 5% and maintained a 33% year-over-year growth rate. This positions Klaviyo favorably among software companies with such high growth rates. The company’s positive trajectory is further supported by an increase in full-year revenue guidance, which alleviates some investor concerns regarding tariff risks impacting its small and medium-sized business and e-commerce clientele.
Despite these positive indicators, Elizabeth Porter maintains a Hold rating due to several factors that could influence investor sentiment. These include debates over the sustainability of growth targets, especially given Klaviyo’s significant exposure to macro-sensitive customers. Additionally, while new product developments and international expansion show promise for future growth, the current market conditions and unchanged operating margin guidance suggest a cautious approach is warranted until more consistent growth durability is demonstrated.
In another report released yesterday, Wells Fargo also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $32.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 80 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
