Freshwork (FRSH) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.
I recommend a buy rating for Freshworks. FRSH's revenue growth could sustain at 20%, driven by increasing traction in growth initiatives like Freddy and Fresh Service Solutions. Risks include potential worsening of the macroclimate, which could impact FRSH's growth narrative and valuation multiples.

Software firm Freshworks forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Tuesday, expecting a surge in demand for its AI-powered services as customers ramp up digitization.
Freshworks stock has declined sharply year to date, creating a buying opportunity. Its revenue growth has remained consistently around 20% y/y over the past few quarters. The company's slight slippage in net revenue retention rates, owing to SMB weakness, has been echoed throughout the software sector.
The heavy selling pressure might have exhausted for Freshwork (FRSH) as it is technically in oversold territory now. In addition to this technical measure, strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher indicates that the stock is ripe for a trend reversal.
