SEMrush Holdings, Inc. (SEMR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.08 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate . This compares to earnings of $0.06 per share a year ago.
Semrush Holdings has continued to grow. Despite a 2025 guidance cut, the company's revenue momentum remains good as the SEO software market continues to grow. SEMR stock has plummeted due to market concerns. Most critically, AI overviews have been seen to weaken search engine advertising. I believe the concern to be overstated. Semrush's customer count has stagnated, but the metric's performance reflects the company's strategic pivot to higher-value enterprise customers.
Semrush offers an attractive opportunity as a beaten-down small-cap, trading at low valuation multiples, despite maintaining ~20% growth in a large TAM. SEMR recently cut full-year revenue guidance, reflecting a strategic shift away from costly small customers to focus on more profitable enterprise clients. The company's strong balance sheet, with $258.5 million in cash and no debt, supports its resilience and ability to weather near-term growth stumbles.
