Sprout Social (SPT) shares have started gaining and might continue moving higher in the near term, as indicated by solid earnings estimate revisions.
I maintain a Hold rating on Sprout Social, Inc. as the top-line growth rate slows, but operating results approach breakeven, supported by its Trellis Gen AI system. SPT's focus is shifting to higher-value $30K+ ARR clients and cross-selling, while a 20% headcount reduction raises concerns about sustaining revenue growth. The company trades at a forward EV/Sales discount (1.1x vs. SaaS median 4.1x) due to lower forward growth expectations and disruption risks.
Sprout Social NASDAQ: SPT reported second-quarter revenue of $123.8 million, up 10.8% from a year earlier, as the social media management software provider continued to shift its business toward larger customers and expanded its artificial intelligence offerings.
