UPWK is an online platform for freelancers which has seen a three annual sales increase of 168%. We like that cash reserves are growing, while shares are bought back. It trades at under 2x earnings and supports a 45% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $11, looking to achieve $19 — upside potential of 33%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $19.60)

The outlook for 2024 looks solid, forecasting growth of 13.77% in revenues and EPS growth of 41%. UPWK does have appear to have an extensive focus on AI and integrating it into the company's business processes while also connecting AI professionals to comapnies. Numerous banks have upgraded UPWK's price target. UPWK's most recent quarter was very strong, but it was the company's first time reaching positive EPS, so we would want to see if this can be maintained going forward. The valuation is at 22.0x forward earnings which is expensive but we think another strong quarter will push momentum even higher. For small cap investors we think it is attractive.
