Yelp: Unloved

Update - Dec. 20

Pretty absurd downgrade of Yelp. The stock is basically being given away below $30 and JPMorgan doesn't want it. The stock has actually hit a new 52-week low on the news. 

-Yelp downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at JPMorgan

-JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter downgraded Yelp to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $23, down from $34. The insurance lead generation sector is the analyst's favorite across small and mid-cap internet stocks for 2023. He downgraded Ziff Davis to Neutral and Yelp to Underweight citing a cautious view of online advertising. Trends in online advertising are unlikely to improve at least through the first half of 2023, Carpenter tells investors in a research note.

Finviz Chart


Original article published on Nov. 4

  • Yelp reported a strong Q3'22 with revenues growing 15% YoY.
  • The consumer review site cut Q4 targets due to the tough economic environment, but revenue growth is still targeted at nearly 12%.
  • The stock is absurdly cheap below 7x EV/EBITDA targets.
Like clockwork, Yelp (NYSE:YELP) reports strong quarterly results and the market mostly yawns. The consumer review site even repurchases shares at very discounted prices, but the stock is still stuck below $40. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on Yelp due to the deep value, but the catalyst to make investors actually load up on the stock won't be clear until after it actually occurs.
