▲(16.62% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:02/28/26
The score is driven primarily by improved fundamentals—profitability, free cash flow generation, and a very low-debt balance sheet—reinforced by 2026 margin and cash flow guidance. This is tempered by a demanding valuation and a weaker longer-term technical trend, alongside management’s cautious outlook for only modest near-term subscription revenue growth.
Positive Factors
Balance Sheet Strength
Minimal leverage and substantial equity (~$233M at year-end 2025) materially reduce financial risk and provide strategic optionality. This durable strength supports continued R&D investment, the $50M buyback, and resilience through macro cycles without forcing dilutive financing.
Improved Cash Generation
Consistent positive operating and free cash flow indicate earnings quality and internal funding ability for product investment and buybacks. Sustained FCF reduces dependency on external capital, enabling disciplined growth funding and long-term margin improvement if FCF conversion remains stable.
High Gross Margins & AI Productivity
Very strong subscription gross margins and measurable AI-driven margin expansion create durable unit economics. Margin tailwinds can be reinvested into R&D for B2B, retail media and AI features, improving competitiveness while preserving profitability as revenue scales.
Negative Factors
Revenue Growth Deceleration
A shift from prior multi-year rapid expansion to mid-single-digit guidance makes long-term upside dependent on reacceleration. Slower topline growth increases the emphasis on margin and efficiency execution and raises execution risk if product investments do not drive material incremental bookings.
Elongated Sales Cycles
Persistent lengthening of enterprise decision cycles reduces predictability of ARR additions and delays payback on sales investment. Structurally longer sales processes raise CAC/resource needs and can slow cohort expansion, making growth lumpy and harder to scale sustainably.
Regional Concentration & NRR Pressure
Reliance on GMV-linked revenue and exposure to Latin America weakness creates retention and growth risk. NRR near 100% implies limited organic upsell cushion; regional softness can depress GMV and take-rate revenue, constraining sustainable ARR growth absent geographic diversification or new revenue streams.

VTEX Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call balanced clear operational and profitability progress (GMV growth, margin expansion, AI-driven productivity, strong cash generation, and strategic initiatives in global expansion, B2B and retail media) against near-term top-line challenges (elongated sales cycles, softer same-store sales, regional weakness in Brazil/Argentina, and modest subscription growth). Management emphasized that growth headwinds are largely cyclical and detailed a plan to reaccelerate by reallocating efficiency gains into R&D and prioritizing four growth levers, while providing cautious but improved profitability guidance for 2026.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong GMV Growth
Fourth-quarter GMV reached $6.3 billion, up 17.2% year-over-year in USD and 10.0% FX-neutral; full-year GMV was $20.5 billion, up 12.1% in USD and 12.9% FX-neutral.
Subscription Revenue Growth and Scale
Subscription revenue was $66.7 million in Q4 (up 12.2% YoY in USD and 5.4% FX-neutral); full-year subscription revenue was $234.9 million, up 7.9% in USD and 9.5% FX-neutral.
Improved Margins and Record Profitability
Subscription gross margin rose to 81.8% in Q4 (from 78.8% prior-year), total gross margin increased to 79.6% (from 75.0% prior-year), and operating margin in Q4 was 23.8% (up from 19.9% YoY); existing-stores operating margin reached 44% for the year (up 1 percentage point).
AI-Driven Productivity Gains
AI-powered automation (support automation) delivered roughly a 3 percentage-point expansion in subscription gross margin in 2025 and drove cost efficiencies that management expects are sustainable and reinvestible into R&D.
Cash Generation, Balance Sheet Strength and Buyback
Free cash flow in Q4 was $11.1 million (16.3% margin; >19% adj. excluding one-off severance), year-end cash balance ~ $200 million, and the company announced a $50 million 12-month share repurchase program.
Healthy Sales ROI and Enterprise Customer Expansion
LTV/CAC reached approximately 4x in 2025; customers generating over $250,000 ARR reached 158 (cohort revenue from this group rose 14.5% FX-neutral).
Global Markets and Product Momentum
Global markets delivered 22% subscription revenue growth in 2025 (global markets represented 11.1% of total revenue) and are approaching breakeven contribution margins; B2B, retail media and AI initiatives represented ~15% of subscription revenue in Q4 and accounted for ~20% FX-neutral subscription growth within that mix.
Retail Media Proof Points
Retail media moved from pilot to a core growth engine in 2025: example client Essity showed a 39% increase in average conversion rate and multi‑month acceleration in sales, demonstrating margin-accretive, closed-loop attribution capabilities.
Strategic Reorganization and R&D Reallocation
December reorganization centralized global sales & marketing, reduced complexity (~100 headcount impacted) and redirected productivity gains into R&D to accelerate AI, B2B and retail media product development.
Forward Profitability Guidance
2026 targets: mid- to high-single-digit FX-neutral subscription revenue growth (full year), gross profit growing high-single-digit to low-teens, non-GAAP income from operations in the low-20s% margin and free cash flow in the low-20s% margin, implying continued focus on profitable growth.
Negative Updates
Growth Below Long-Term Ambition
Management acknowledged that recent growth is below its long-term targets and described the 2025 slowdown as largely cyclical, driven by macro weakness and elongated enterprise decision cycles.
Elongated Sales Cycles and Fewer New Contracts
2025 featured longer RFPs and fewer new contract signings driven by an 'AI wait-and-see' effect and macro uncertainty; new stores additions in 2025 contributed $25 million (approx. 13% of 2024 VTEX platform revenue), and elongated cycles are expected to carry impacts into 2026.
Slower Same-Store Sales and Net Revenue Retention Pressure
Same-store sales growth slowed to 6.8% FX-neutral in 2025, which was a primary driver of a decline in net revenue retention versus 2024 (NRR was 99.5% FX-neutral for 2025); approximately 60% of revenue is driven by a take rate on customers' GMV, so lower GMV growth pressured retention.
Regional Softness—Brazil and Argentina
Management cited a more challenging macro environment and promotional marketplace conditions in Brazil and ongoing softness in Argentina; Latin America ex-Brazil subscription revenue grew just 2.1% FX-neutral in 2025.
Q4 FX-Neutral Subscription Growth Modest
Subscription revenue grew only 5.4% FX-neutral in Q4 2025, signaling that top-line reacceleration remains a work in progress despite margin gains and enterprise wins.
One‑Time Reorganization Costs and Headcount Reduction
December sales and marketing reorganization incurred approximately $2 million of severance expense above normalized levels and impacted almost 100 headcounts, illustrating near-term restructuring costs and workforce reductions.
Guidance Reflects Caution and Modest Near-Term Growth
Q1 2026 guidance anticipates mid-single-digit FX-neutral subscription revenue growth (with a tough YoY comparison), and full-year guidance is mid- to high-single-digit—indicating modest near-term top-line outlook rather than immediate rapid reacceleration.
Company Guidance
VTEX guided Q1 2026 to FX‑neutral subscription revenue growth of mid‑single digits, FX‑neutral gross profit growth of high‑single digits, non‑GAAP income from operations margin in the mid‑teens, and free cash flow margin in the high‑teens; for full‑year 2026 it targets FX‑neutral subscription revenue growth of mid‑ to high‑single digits, gross profit growth of high‑single digits to low‑teens, non‑GAAP income from operations in the low‑20s percentage margin and free cash flow in the low‑20s percentage margin. Management cautioned that Q1 is the lowest GMV quarter with the toughest YoY comp, noted that January 2026 FX rates would add ~8.4 percentage points to reported USD subscription growth in Q1 and ~4.5 points for the full year, and announced a $50 million 12‑month share repurchase program alongside roughly $200 million of year‑end 2025 cash.

VTEX Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong turnaround: multi-year revenue expansion, return to consistent profitability in 2024–2025, and positive free cash flow with solid gross margins and minimal leverage. The main constraint is the sharp 2025 growth deceleration and slightly weaker free cash flow growth, making forward results more dependent on continued efficiency and margin execution than rapid topline growth.
Income Statement
78
Positive
Revenue has compounded strongly over the period (from ~$99M in 2020 to ~$241M in 2025), and profitability has improved materially after heavy losses in 2021–2022. The company returned to consistent profitability in 2024–2025, with 2025 net margin around 8.3% and solid gross margin (~77%), indicating good unit economics. The main weakness is growth deceleration in 2025 (low-single-digit revenue growth vs. much higher earlier years) and still-modest operating margins, suggesting the next leg depends more on scaling efficiency than rapid topline expansion.
Balance Sheet
90
Very Positive
The balance sheet is very conservatively financed with minimal debt (debt-to-equity roughly 1% in 2024–2025), which reduces financial risk and adds flexibility. Equity remains substantial (~$233M in 2025), and returns have improved alongside the earnings recovery (return on equity ~8.6% in 2025 after negative levels in 2021–2023). The key watchout is that equity has trended down from 2021 levels, and asset levels have been relatively flat, implying shareholder value creation will need to come from sustained profitability rather than balance-sheet expansion.
Cash Flow
74
Positive
Cash generation has strengthened significantly: operating cash flow turned from negative in 2021–2022 to meaningfully positive in 2024–2025, and free cash flow in 2025 (~$32M) nearly matches net income, reflecting decent earnings quality. However, free cash flow growth turned slightly negative in 2025, and operating cash flow remains a relatively small share of revenue (roughly in the mid-teens), indicating some sensitivity to working-capital or reinvestment needs as the business scales.

VTEX Posts Record Q4 2025 Profit, Expands Enterprise and Global Commerce Footprint
Feb 26, 2026

VTEX reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 26, 2026, highlighting its evolution into a multi-product, AI-driven commerce platform and a deliberate push upmarket toward large enterprises. The company grew its cohort of customers generating more than US$250,000 in ARR to 158 and lifted Global Markets subscription revenue, led by the U.S. and Europe, by 21.6% for the year, underscoring its global expansion and strengthening enterprise positioning.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, VTEX’s GMV rose 17.2% year over year to US$6.3 billion, total revenue climbed 10.5% to US$68.0 million, and subscription revenue—which made up 98.1% of the total—grew 12.2%, while non-GAAP income from operations jumped 31.8% to US$16.2 million, yielding a 23.8% margin. The company combined record profitability with cost discipline, cutting headcount 16.7% year on year, and completed a US$21.3 million share repurchase in Q4 before the board authorized a new US$50 million program on February 24, 2026, signaling confidence in its cash generation and valuation.

Commercially, VTEX added new customers across Latin America, including Brazilian brands such as Atacado Vila Nova and TCL and regional retailers like Colombia’s Mercacentro and Ecuador’s Pharmacy’s and Cruz Azul, while existing clients such as EssilorLuxottica, Mondelez, OBI and Whirlpool expanded their operations on the platform. Operational case studies showcased the platform’s role in driving digital transformation and AI adoption: Aço Cearense saw triple-digit digital revenue growth via VTEX-enabled assisted sales, Americanas used VTEX’s AI agent to automate order support, Essity boosted retail media returns with VTEX Ads, and Grupo DIFARE migrated major pharmacy chains to VTEX to advance its omnichannel strategy.

These results and customer wins illustrate VTEX’s effort to cement its role as a core infrastructure provider for enterprise commerce, particularly in B2B, Retail Media and AI, even amid a challenging macro environment. By pairing strong subscription margins and growing non-GAAP profitability with increased R&D investment, the company is attempting to balance near-term financial discipline with longer-term product innovation, a trade-off that could enhance its competitive standing but also raises execution demands as it scales globally.

The most recent analyst rating on (VTEX) stock is a Hold with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VTEX stock, see the VTEX Stock Forecast page.

VTEX Posts Higher 2025 Subscription Revenue and Narrows Accumulated Losses
Feb 26, 2026

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, VTEX reported total revenue of $240.5 million, up from $226.7 million a year earlier, driven by an increase in subscription revenue to $234.9 million while services revenue declined to $5.6 million. The company’s balance sheet showed total assets of $346.6 million, modestly down from $362.1 million at year-end 2024, with higher trade receivables, lower cash and marketable securities, and reduced deferred revenue on a non-current basis, indicating continued growth in its core SaaS operations while maintaining a solid liquidity and equity position for stakeholders.

VTEX ended 2025 with $267.5 million in current assets and $79.1 million in non-current assets, alongside $113.1 million in total liabilities, resulting in shareholders’ equity of $233.6 million compared with $254.1 million a year earlier. The company narrowed its accumulated losses from $109.8 million to $89.8 million, suggesting improving profitability trends as subscription revenue scales, though the slight contraction in cash, marketable securities and equity underscores ongoing investment and the need to sustain operating discipline in a competitive commerce-platform market.

The most recent analyst rating on (VTEX) stock is a Hold with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VTEX stock, see the VTEX Stock Forecast page.
