Yelp is navigating the macroeconomic and competitive headwinds on the back of its robust advertising services division.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This award recognizes VIIRL's efforts as a digital marketing agency generating great results for hundreds of clients ranging from home services to health and beauty.
Yelp has crashed ~15% after issuing a sour FY25 outlook, which calls for ~5% revenue growth and slight adjusted EBITDA contraction. To me, this outlook is quite conservative, given Yelp's recent acceleration in ad clicks in Q4, plus its plan to hold headcount flat in FY25. Historically, Yelp has also guided conservatively, with the company outperforming its original adjusted EBITDA target for FY24 by 10%.
While a rise in ad clicks boosts YELP's Q4 revenues, a decline in total costs and expenses drives earnings per share.
While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Yelp (YELP) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended December 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
