Upwork Inc. (UPWK) PT Raised to $19 at UBSHe said, "UPWK shares could react positively on Thursday after posting strong Q4 results, with GSV, take rate, and margin all exceeding expectations. While the macro environment remains subdued similar to recent quarters, management is executing well driving significant margin expansion without much revenue tailwinds. Q1 guidance exceeded Street, and full-year guidance seems to have room for upward revision as the year progresses. Upworks recent strategic moves are positioning the company as a much more profitable and cash generative business, which can open up value-enhancing optionality down the line. Were encouraged by the execution momentum despite a sluggish macro backdrop."
