Maggie Nolan’s rating is based on several factors surrounding TaskUs’s recent performance and market conditions. Despite TaskUs reporting strong second-quarter results with a 24% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by significant increases in AI services, the gross margin fell short of expectations, which might have tempered enthusiasm.
Additionally, the pending acquisition by BlackStone, set to close in the second half of 2025, has influenced the stock’s trading price. The acquisition offer of $16.50 per share represents a premium over recent trading prices, and the stock has been trading above this offer. Given the current valuation metrics, including EV-to-adjusted EBITDA and P/E multiples, which align closely with industry averages, Maggie Nolan has opted for a Hold rating, reflecting a balanced view of the potential risks and rewards associated with the stock.
