Upwork: Profits Surge, Upside Remains
UPWK
Published: May 07, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Upwork had a stellar Q1'25, with significant margins improvements and raising their adjusted EBITDA guidance. While many thought AI would be a threat to a significant part of Upwork's talent pool, that concern has not materialized. Instead, AI seems to have benefited the company. Upwork's model should be able to enjoy the sort of scaling and operating leverage familiar to companies such as AirBnB and Uber, and this quarter showed potential in that direction.

Upwork: With Near Zero Growth, It's Time To Sell The Post-Earnings Spike (Downgrade)
UPWK
Published: May 07, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Upwork raised its bottom-line outlook amid a tough climate, causing a 20% rally, but I recommend selling due to long-term risks. Revenue growth is slowing to near-zero, with declining active clients, as businesses cut costs and reduce contract work. In the long run, increased business appetite in investing into AI automation may shrivel a lot of the available market for freelance work.
