BlackLine (BL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
BlackLine Inc. demonstrated a commendable revenue growth of approximately 9% year-over-year, amounting to around $170 million, with subscription revenue reflecting a similar growth trajectory of about 9.5%. The company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased by approximately 6% to around $641 million, suggesting a solid underpinning for continued growth, particularly as strategic product offerings saw a significant year-over-year revenue expansion of 50%. Furthermore, improved optimization within the company’s cost structure and expectations for enhanced operating leverage may lead to a favorable shift towards mid-teen free cash flow margins, underpinning a promising outlook for profitability and overall stock performance.
Bears say
BlackLine Inc's guidance for 2025 indicates a subdued total revenue growth of approximately 7%, falling short by around 2 percentage points compared to previous expectations, with a particularly weak first quarter growth of about 6% year-over-year. Additionally, the company's fourth-quarter metrics showed a slowdown in total revenue and RPO growth to 9%, alongside disappointing forward-looking indicators such as billings and cRPO growth at roughly 5%, significantly below consensus estimates of 11%. Overall, a combination of foreign exchange headwinds, increased scrutiny on deals, and reduced estimates for revenue and earnings per share signals a challenging growth outlook for BlackLine, contributing to a potential de-rating of the stock.
