Laura Martin’s rating is based on Outbrain’s promising financial outlook and strategic moves. The company reported a significant increase in net revenues for the first quarter of 2025, showing a 98% year-over-year growth, which aligns with expectations. Although the adjusted EBITDA was slightly below estimates, the overall margin remains healthy at 10.4%.
Furthermore, the acquisition of Teads is seen as a strategic step to enhance Outbrain’s ad product offerings, potentially driving future growth. Despite concerns about Teads’ recent revenue declines, Outbrain’s projections for growth in the latter half of 2025, supported by new product launches, suggest that the current stock valuation may not fully reflect its future potential, warranting a Buy rating.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 46 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of OB in relation to earlier this year.
