Northland Securities has reaffirmed a Hold rating on Liveperson (LPSN) with a price target of $1.50. The analyst consensus is also a Hold with an average price target of $1.25. Corporate insider sentiment is negative due to an increase in insiders selling shares.
LivePerson Inc. (LPSN) reported its second-quarter (Q2) 2025 financial results, revealing a mixed performance that has led analysts to reiterate a Hold rating. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.17 exceeded expectations by $0.02, while revenue of $59.6 million fell short of the expected $61.63 million. Despite the revenue miss, LivePerson’s stock declined by 3.31% in after-hours trading, closing at $1.21 [1].The company’s adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million exceeded the high-end of its guidance, indicating strong operational performance. However, the revenue guidance for the full year was revised down by 5% to $235 million. LivePerson has shown strong returns of 34.6% over the past week, indicating investor interest in the company’s long-term potential [1].
Northland Securities has reaffirmed a Hold rating on LivePerson with a price target of $1.50, while the analyst consensus is also a Hold with an average price target of $1.25. The negative corporate insider sentiment, indicated by an increase in insiders selling shares, further dampens investor confidence [1].
Needham analyst Ryan MacDonald has reiterated a Hold rating, citing prolonged sales cycles and customer apprehensions due to LivePerson’s financial health challenges. MacDonald awaits more evidence of stability in LivePerson’s core operations before considering a more favorable rating. The proposed exchange agreement addresses capital structure concerns but does not fully alleviate investor skepticism [1].
LivePerson continues to face challenges, including ongoing economic uncertainty, extended buying cycles, and competition from new AI bot capabilities. The company’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud and Databricks is expected to enhance its market positioning, but these efforts must translate into tangible results to reassure investors [1].
