Freshworks remains a compelling "Buy" as Q2 results dispel SaaS sector fears, with stable mid-teens revenue growth and strong Rule of 40 performance. FRSH's valuation is attractive, trading at a $2.67 billion enterprise value, with significant net cash and less than 2% penetration of its $45 billion TAM. EX ARR grew 23% year-over-year to $567 million, expected to maintain mid-20s growth and surpass $600 million by 2026, anchoring FRSH's growth engine.
Freshworks Inc. is initiated with a buy rating, citing a compelling EX positioning, cheap valuations, robust earnings and FCF growth, and technical momentum. FRSH's shift to an employee experience (EX) product suite, now 60% of ARR, drives superior growth, profitability, and stickiness, with EX ARR up 22% YoY. FY26 EPS guidance was raised by 7-8%, reversing prior expectations of an earnings contraction in FY26, with FY27 EPS growth projected at ~20-28%.
Freshworks leans on EX growth and AI adoption after a Q2 beat, lifting its 2026 outlook as profitability and share buybacks strengthen.
