UPWK

Upwork acquired WorkMotion to expand Lifted enterprise capabilities globally. Business Plus revenue grew 120% year over year in Q3.

Upwork rallied ~10% post-Q3 earnings despite worsening revenue contractions and ongoing secular headwinds. I maintain a "Sell" rating on UPWK, as upward guidance momentum does not offset concerns about long-term sustainability. The recent stock rebound (+20% since September) appears disconnected from fundamental challenges facing the business.
