Bulls say

The company's customer base for contracts exceeding $50K Annual Contract Value (ACV) surged by 55% year-over-year, indicating robust demand and increasing adoption of its services.

Bears say
Backblaze Inc has not yet achieved sustainable profitability, exhibiting Adjusted EBITDA Margins of -11% and -4% for 2022 and 2023 respectively, alongside larger losses on an adjusted Free Cash Flow basis. The company's customer base has seen a decline, with the total customer count reducing from 511,942 in 2023 to 507,647 by the end of 2024, indicating potential challenges in customer retention, despite a slight year-over-year retention increase due to recent price hikes. Furthermore, the significant disparity in valuation multiples, with Backblaze trading at a lower EV/Sales/Growth ratio compared to its Small Cap Tech peers, suggests a negative outlook, particularly if growth contracts necessitating further investment that may hinder profitability strategies.
