NerdWallet Stock Sees Modest Uptick in Analyst Price Target Amidst Renewed Optimism

NerdWallet's consensus analyst price target has risen from $15.83 to $16.17 due to renewed optimism about the company's future performance. Analysts are weighing the impact of positive strategic developments and ongoing industry challenges. Oppenheimer analyst Jed Kelly raised the firm's price target from $16 to $18 and maintained an Outperform rating. The analyst forecasts significant improvements in NerdWallet's EBITDA for 2025 and 2026, driven by gains in variable marketing profit and deeper vertical integration. However, successful execution is critical, and setbacks could expose NerdWallet to renewed growth and traffic risks. Valuation remains a consideration, as upward revisions in price targets and bullish sentiment could be already reflected in the stock price.
