In other recent news, Semrush Holdings has been flagged as a top pick by Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) due to its strong margins and robust revenue outlook. This follows the firm's recent upgrade of Semrush stock from Equalweight to Overweight. The upgrade reflects Morgan Stanley's positive assessment of the company's growth potential, supported by an impressive 83% gross profit margin and a 22% revenue growth over the last twelve months.
In addition, Semrush reported a significant growth in the third quarter of 2024. The company's revenue increased by 24% year-over-year, reaching $97.4 million, and its non-GAAP operating income stood at $12.1 million. The annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose by 24% to $401 million, with approximately 1,300 new paying customers added.
These recent developments have led Semrush to raise its full-year revenue guidance for 2024. The company now anticipates a Q4 2024 revenue between $100.8 million and $101.8 million and a full-year revenue between $375 million and $376 million. Morgan Stanley's analysis suggests that Semrush's growth trajectory and potential to generate higher revenues and margins are yet to be fully appreciated by the market.
