SIMILARWEB LTD. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags SIMILARWEB LTD. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 37.1/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3899 of 7,333 stocks, SMWB falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
With a quality score of 53/100, SMWB shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -166.6% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 78.1% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of -4.6% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 36/100, SMWB appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 42.48x, a P/B ratio of 7.66x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
SMWB shows a solid investment score of 65/100, reflecting measured but productive capital allocation. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 14.6% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of -18.9% (sector: 2.4%). This suggests the company is investing at an appropriate level to sustain growth without overextending its balance sheet.
SIMILARWEB LTD. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 8/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 14.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.90 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
SMWB's stability score of 25/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.90 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 51/100 for SMWB suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.1B market cap (small-cap), SIMILARWEB LTD. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
SIMILARWEB LTD. is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3899 of 7,333 overall (47th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -166.6% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of -3.9% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While SMWB currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

Similarweb Ltd.'s (NYSE:SMWB) shares have significantly declined by 27% in the last month and 69% over the past year, reflecting investor concerns. The company's low price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1.6x, compared to an industry average of 4.2x, is attributed to below-average revenue growth and a forecast for weaker future growth relative to its industry. Analysts predict only 14% revenue growth for Similarweb, while the industry is expected to grow by 33%, leading to investor pessimism and a depressed stock valuation.
Similarweb Ltd. (NYSE:SMWB) has seen its share price drop by 29% recently, leading to a 69% loss over the past year. Despite its current price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1.7x appearing inexpensive compared to the industry average, this is largely due to its slower-than-industry revenue growth forecasts. The market's pessimism regarding its future growth prospects explains the depressed P/S, suggesting it might not be an attractive investment despite the lower valuation.
