Markets are underestimating macro risks; it's time to rotate into value plays like Semrush, which is overlooked and undervalued. Semrush boasts a large $40B TAM, a diversified product suite, high recurring revenue, and a solid balance of growth and profitability. Despite macro headwinds and leadership transition, Semrush is executing well, delivering 20%+ growth under new CEO Bill Wagner.
Shares of Semrush have declined by nearly 30% so far this year, as the company has had to deal with macro headwinds and the growing threat from AI overviews. Revenue growth has remained above 20%, with an FCF margin of 12% expected this year, potentially reaching 20% in 2027. Its enterprise offering is seeing increased adoption and is expected to be a key driver for revenue growth and margins ahead.
Semrush Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SEMR ) Q1 2025 Earnings Conference Call May 8, 2025 8:30 AM ET Company Participants Brinlea Johnson - Investor Relations, The Blueshirt Group Bill Wagner - Chief Executive Officer Brian Mulroy - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Mark Murphy - JPMorgan Chase & Co. Elizabeth Porter - Morgan Stanley Jackson Ader - KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. Adam Hotchkiss - Goldman Sachs Luke Horton - Northland Capital Markets Scott Berg - Needham & Company, LLC Operator Good morning. Thank you for attending today's Semrush First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call.
SEMrush Holdings, Inc. (SEMR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.04 per share a year ago.
Semrush's ~40% slide from peaks above $18 presents a compelling buy opportunity in this growth at a reasonable price software stock. The company's marketing automation tools address a $40 billion TAM, with only ~1% current penetration. It's growing its ARR at a >20% y/y pace, giving it a high degree of revenue visibility.
Enterprise momentum has clearly accelerated, with 144 Enterprise SEO customers contributing $9M in ARR and 82% y/y growth in $50K+ accounts—validating the upmarket shift and boosting long-term revenue quality. Customer monetization and retention trends remain strong, with average revenue per customer rising ~13% y/y and business/agency cohorts maintaining NRR >120%. AIO rollout adds a new growth lever, as Semrush enters beta for its enterprise AI product, positioning itself early to help businesses rank within AI-generated search results.
Semrush Holdings basically offers an AI-enhanced SaaS platform for digital marketing, with products spanning SEO, PPC, content, and social media management. They've had relatively strong enterprise growth of 40% YoY, even though their net revenue retention declined slightly due to SMBs' weakness. Still, I think AI features like ContentShake and SocialContent AI will pay off as growth levers, particularly through recurring upgrade revenue streams.

SEMrush Holdings, Inc. (SEMR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.08 per share a year ago.
SEMrush (SEMR) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
I upgraded Semrush Holdings stock to a buy rating due to bullish growth outlook, driven by a better macro environment and renewed digital advertising investments. SEMR's massive TAM and successful cross-selling strategy, evidenced by 13% y/y ARR growth, support robust long-term growth potential. International growth is a significant upside, with over 50% of revenue from outside the US, and localized content enhancing global reach.
