Action:Reiterated
Date:05/09/26
TBLA scores well primarily on improving financial performance (notably strong free cash flow and modest leverage) and very attractive P/E valuation. The latest earnings call supports the outlook with raised guidance and continued buybacks, while the main near-term risk comes from extremely overbought technicals and some non-recurring/FX-related impacts on profitability metrics.
Positive Factors
Strong cash generation
Taboola’s cash generation is a durable strength: high TTM operating cash flow and FCF provide internal funding for buybacks, R&D and working-cap needs. Sustained FCF reduces refinancing risk and enables capital allocation optionality, even if some quarters vary with working-cap movements.
Negative Factors
Modest and uneven revenue growth
Taboola’s top-line expansion remains modest and historically volatile. Without sustained double-digit growth, operating leverage and long-term margin expansion are limited; this constrains compounding free cash flow and makes profitability dependent on efficiency gains rather than strong secular demand acceleration.

Taboola.com Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 06, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call was broadly positive: the company beat Q1 guidance across metrics, showed clear product momentum (Realize, Realize+, DeeperDive), grew scaled advertisers and ARPU, generated strong cash flow, and raised full-year guidance. Key negatives were FX headwinds, a one-time legal settlement that boosted reported income and FCF, and higher infrastructure/OpEx that limited immediate margin expansion. Management reiterated a path toward consistent double-digit growth but has not achieved it yet.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth
Q1 revenues increased 9% year-over-year to $466.4 million, beating the high end of guidance and prompting an upward revision to full-year revenue guidance of $2.00B–$2.06B.
Negative Updates
Foreign Exchange Headwinds
FX, primarily strength in the Israeli shekel, created a ~ $4.7 million headwind to Q1 adjusted EBITDA (ex-TAC CC tailwind ~$3.6M vs. OpEx headwind ~$8.2M). Management expects FX to remain a ~$13 million operating expense headwind in 2026, reducing flow-through and margins.

Company Guidance
Management raised guidance and gave Q2 targets of revenue $492–505M, gross profit $147–152M, ex‑TAC gross profit $189–194M, adjusted EBITDA $49–55M and non‑GAAP net income $36–43M. For the full year they now expect revenue $2.00–2.06B, gross profit $610–630M, ex‑TAC gross profit $760–781M, adjusted EBITDA $222–240M and non‑GAAP net income $167–191M, guiding to roughly 8% ex‑TAC gross profit growth and a ~30% adjusted‑EBITDA margin (the guidance assumes about a $13M FX OpEx headwind; without FX margins would be ~34%). Q1 outperformed with revenue $466.4M (+9% y/y), ex‑TAC gross profit $168.1M (+11% y/y), gross profit $129.6M, adjusted EBITDA $26.7M (16% margin; would have been $31.4M or 19.1% excl. FX), non‑GAAP net income $17.2M, operating cash flow $108.7M and free cash flow $90.3M (FCF conversion target 60–70% of adjusted EBITDA over a typical 4‑quarter period). The company finished Q1 with net cash $83.9M, cash $150.3M vs. long‑term debt $66.4M, ~$203.6M available on a $270M revolver, repurchased ~7M shares for $23.5M (shares outstanding ~273M) and has ~ $160M remaining on its buyback authorization.Taboola.com Financial Statement Overview
