BlackLine: Beware The Software Company That Can Barely Grow, This Is A Dead Cat Bounce |
Despite a better-than-feared Q1 earnings print, BlackLine's growth, quality, and value metrics are concerning, leading me to reiterate a sell rating. BlackLine's guidance cut for FY25 reflects poor demand, with revenue growth expected to decelerate further amid a weak enterprise IT buying climate. At a 4.8x EV/FY25 revenue multiple, BlackLine's cheap valuation is still unattractive given its minimal growth and competitive pressures from larger software companies. |

BlackLine: Worrying Growth Trends (Rating Downgrade) |
BlackLine shares slid nearly 20% after the company reported disastrous Q4 results, showing continued deceleration in revenue growth while also suffering large slips in operating margin. The company's FY25 implies growth slowing further to a mere 7-8% range, well below the company's target goal of recovering growth to the mid-teens. BlackLine may be subject to vendor consolidation as its niche finance software faces sharp competition from broader platforms like SAP and Workday. |

I reiterate my buy rating for BlackLine due to its potential to accelerate growth to mid-teens, triggering an upward valuation rerating. BL's strategic shift towards larger enterprise customers and the launch of the Studio360 platform are key drivers for achieving mid-teens revenue growth. The new pricing model, allowing unlimited users and consumption-based components, should significantly boost blended pricing as the mix of larger customers grows. |
