SVMK Inc (SVMK) Received its Third Buy in a Row


After Merrill Lynch and JMP Securities gave SVMK Inc (NASDAQ: SVMK) a Buy rating last month, the company received another Buy, this time from SunTrust Robinson. Analyst Youssef Squali maintained a Buy rating on SVMK Inc today and set a price target of $19. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $17.

Squali observed:

“We maintain a positive stance on SVMK after hosting mgt for a round of investor meetings this week, and tweak estimates higher for 2020 and beyond to better account for the recent Usabilla acquisition. Mgt’s tone reflected continued optimism around its growth initiatives: Enterprise, Teams, and international expansion. We’re incrementally more positive about the recent acquisition of Usabilla, given its capabilities, pricing model, and geographic presence. Competition in mid-market remains limited, making this an execution story, in our view. PT of $19 (from $17) implies ~7x 2020 EV/revenue. Key highlight: While 2016-2018 was a period for a big push in product engineering and back-end systems under the new leadership, 2019-2020 is all about educating clients and selling the products.”
